How is acute cutaneous lupus diagnosed?
Biopsy. A dermatologist may need more information to confirm that you have cutaneous lupus rather than another skin condition, such as rosacea or psoriasis, which cause similar symptoms. He or she may perform a skin biopsy by removing a small piece of affected skin and sending it to a laboratory for testing.
