Frequently, cutaneous complaints are of most concern to patients with scLE and dLE, and thus dermatologists are generally the physicians managing this disease. Broad spectrum sunscreens and sun-protective measures, including lifestyle-changes and clothing are perhaps the most important initial measures. Some patients respond to potent topical steroids. Oral antimalarial therapy is also beneficial in many patients. Less commonly used treatments include dapsone, gold, immunosuppressive drugs, retinoids, and systemic steroids.
