the different types of lupus include: systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) is the most common form. the word "systemic" means that the disease can involve many parts of the body. sle symptoms can be mild or serious. discoid lupus erythematosus mainly affects the skin. a red rash may appear or the skin on the face scalp or elsewhere may change color. drug-induced lupus is triggered by a few medicines. it's like sle but symptoms are usually milder. most of the time the disease goes away when the medicine is stopped. more men develop drug-induced lupus because the drugs that cause it hydralazine and procainamide are used to treat heart conditions that are more common in men.
