Facial hypopigmentation

Facial hypopigmentation is a dermatologic clinical manifestation characterized by localized areas of abnormally lightened skin across the facial cutaneous tissue, resulting from a partial loss of melanin pigment or a decrease in functional melanocytes Pathophysiologically, the reduction in epidermal pigment stems from inhibited melanogenesis, impaired transfer of melanosomes to keratinocytes, or localized melanocyte cytotoxicity

It can affect pediatric or adult patients and commonly arises secondary to inflammatory dermatoses, autoimmune melanocyte destruction, genetic conditions, or procedural trauma such as laser therapies and chemical peels Clinically, it presents as discrete macules or patches that are noticeably paler than surrounding uninvolved skin, frequently appearing more pronounced after sun exposure or under Wood's lamp examination Pathophysiologically, the reduction in epidermal pigment stems from inhibited...
