Every dermatologist who has seen lupus erythematodes localized on the scalp has been struck by the fact that the scars left by lupus erythematodes on the scalp are deeper than those left on the face, and these latter, especially those located near the nose, are in turn deeper than those left on any other part of the body. This involuntarily brings to mind another skin affliction, favus, which also leaves deep marks on the scalp and almost no marks in those cases where scabs are localized on the body.
