Interface (lichenoid) tissue reaction with vacuolar degeneration, necrotic KCs, thick stratum corneum with focal PK and a patchy band infiltrate with deep extension, too much dermal mucin, thinking LE (systemic or subacute).

Agree with Mona.
Lupus is the first thought, particularly with the increased dermal mucin.
The prominent high necrotic keratinocytes are unusual though....a drug reaction would come in the d/d.

Agree with lupus erythematosus, maybe drug induced.
