Correct Answer: DLE
Description: Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE, also called chronic cutaneous LE) is characterized by discrete lesions, most often found on the face, scalp, and/or external ears.

When the adherent scale is removed from the lesions of discoid lupus erythematosus, the undersurface of the scale shows horny plugs that have occupied patulous hair follicles.
