What is Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus SCLE?

This autoimmune condition occurs when the immune system attacks its own tissues in the skin. It is characterized by red, raised, and dry sores or rashes on the body. Triggers include certain medications and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Adult women are at higher risk. People with SCLE may or may not have the autoimmune disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus).

Diagnostic Questions for Subacute Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus SCLE

My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Female, 40s

I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
