A case in progress... 14 year-old Malaysian boy with photosensitive eruption
HPI:The patient is a 14 year old student with one year history of erythematous patches on the face, made worse with sun exposure. He is otherwise healthy with no systemic complaints. He has been on no medications byh mouth.
Examination showed few discrete 2-4 cm erythematous plaques on the cheeks, nose, upper and lower eyelids. No alopecia. No scarring.
I Suspect this is lupus erythematous. Acute LE or Subacute LE ? ANA serology and biopsy done. Results pending. Differentials - Jessner's lymphocytic infiltrates
Questions: What are your thoughts pending the biopsy findings? Would you do anything different from what I have done so far?
