yperpigmentation disorders usually become from increase
of the production of melanin or from increase of the density
of the melanocyte dyschromicum erythema perstans, or ashy
dermatosis, is a rare chronic acquired skin disease characterized
by gray hyperpigmented patches with erythematous borders.
Its etiology is unknown and there is no specific treatment for
the condition. Drug induced hyperpigmentation is caused
by several substances: chemotherapeutic agents, metals,
amiodarone, clofazimine, hydroquinone,minocycline, psoralens
and others. In most of cases, the pigmentation is solved
discontinuing the drug. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation
appears after a cutaneous injury. UV radiation can make the
lesion worse. In flagellate dermatitis, we can observe linear
macules hyperpigmented on chest and back, mainly and
it appears after using bleomycin; reversible discontinuing
the drug. Vitiligo is an idiopathic disorder characterized by
dyspigmented stains and available melanocytes are not found
in the skin. Many treatments are reported as UVB narrow band,
PUVA, corticosteroids, topical immunosuppressants, surgical
therapies, micropigmentation and lasers. Macular Progressive
Hypomelanosis is very common, mainly in young woman.
It’s characterized by hypopigmented macules on chest and
abdomen, rounded, assintomatica. Prurido is not observed, as
well desquamation. This can be treated with benzoyl peroxide
5% and UVA radiation. Pityriasis versicolor is an infectious
disorder caused by Malassezia sp, a round hypomelanotic
macule appears with desquamation, usually bilateral, on chest
and shoulders or sometimes on abdomen. Hypomelanotic
mycosis fungoides isanearlystageof thedisease.Morecommon
in higher phototypes, 30-40 years old, the lesions occur in torso
and extremities and can be itchy. Hypomelanotic macules can
be found in leprosy and they use to be small, multiples and
not clearly. The lesions are common on face, extremities and
gluteal region. Hyposensitivity and anhidrosis is possible. Halo
nevus is frequent in child and young people. It’s characterized
by a central pigmented nevus and a round amelanotic macule.
Asymptomatic, more common on back.
