Symptoms of discoid lupus erythematosus are often persistent and easily recur. Although they do not cause itching, they greatly affect the patient's aesthetics and quality of life. Current treatment of discoid lupus erythematosus is limited to supportive treatment to relieve symptoms and improve the patient's quality of life, but cannot completely cure it.

Many people, when diagnosed, still do not know what lupus is or whether lupus can be cured. Lack of knowledge about this disease will greatly affect recognition and diagnosis.
