Summary

Chilblain lupus erythematosus is a rare form of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus. It is characterised by purple plaques/nodules and oedematous skin mainly around the acral regions of the body, which are most exposed to the cold. In this paper we report a case of chilblain lupus erythematosus that was diagnosed using the Mayo Clinic Diagnostic Criteria and its successful treatment with hydroxychloroquine.
