A young lady in station 5 in MRCP or short case in medical students with these skin lesions on the face can only be discoid lupus. As have been mentioned before, discoid lupus is one of the criteria for the diagnosis of SLE. There is atrophy with scarring and hyperpigmented lesions on the face. Do not forget to look at the hair and you will notice scarring alopecia.
I saw this young lady in the combine clinic.
