Lupus Erythematosus Chronic Cutaneous, which is commonly referred to as chronic cutaneous lupus or CCLE, is a type of autoimmune disease that affects the skin. It is characterized by long-lasting skin inflammation, resulting in red, scaly, and sometimes raised patches on the skin's surface. Synonyms for this condition may include discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) or cutaneous lupus. These terms are often used interchangeably, highlighting the chronic nature of the disease and its primarily cutaneous manifestations. While CCLE predominantly affects the skin, it is important to note that it can also involve other organs and systems of the body, leading to a wide range of symptoms that may require comprehensive medical attention.
