ABSTRACT
Lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder with varied clinical features. Discoid Lupus Erythematosus (DLE) presents as erythematous, raised plaques. The patients might present with photosensitivity, arthralgia, and nail changes. However, dermoscopy, clinical features, and laboratory markers like high titers of Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) help in clenching the diagnosis. We report a patient in her mid-60s presented with non-healing ulcers oozing pus discharge associated with pain and joint stiffness. Thus, a series of investigations, treatment modifications, and the healing progression of the lesions highlight the importance of retrospective diagnosis.
