Lupus erythematosus requires early and formal treatment to stabilize the condition. For mild cutaneous lupus erythematosus, topical immunosuppressants, such as tacrolimus ointment, and immunomodulators, such as hydroxychloroquine, can be used. Low-dose corticosteroids may be necessary for combination therapy. Systemic lupus erythematosus generally requires corticosteroids as the basis of treatment, combined with one or several immunosuppressants to effectively control the disease. Systemic lupus erythematosus often involves multiple organs, with the kidneys, hematological system, and lungs being the most common. Therefore, it is necessary to use corticosteroids in combination with immunosuppressants to control the progression of the disease, as using only immunomodulators is often insufficient.
