Discoid Lupus Erythematosus is usually localized on the open areas. On the scalp it causes dilatation and plugging of hair follicles with adherent scales, this leads to destruction of hair follicles and permanent alopecia. Initial manifestation of disease can be difficult to recognize. Early visit to Dermatologist is recommended. Differential diagnosis of scarring alopecia include trauma, burn, tinea capitis, lichen planus, scalp psoriasis, sarcoidosis and alopecia areata.
