“…3 The prevalence of melasma in Indian men is about 20.5% to 25.83%. 4,5 However in our study 50% of the patients were male. This could be because most of our patients belonged to immigrant worker group which is male predominant.…”

Background: Melasma is a human melanogenesis dysfunction that results in localized, chronic acquired hypermelanosis of the skin. Dermoscopy is a new non-invasive tool which is used to visualise the pigment colour and distribution. This study was undertaken to explore the usefulness of dermoscope in comparison to Wood’s lamp in melasma.Methods: A total of 50 patients of melasma were examined clinically, under Wood’s lamp and with dermoscope. All the findings were recorded, described and analysed.Results: The data was compared using SPSS software and the degree of agreement between Wood’s lamp and dermoscopy was found to be substantial (K =0.833, p =<0.001). Conclusions: Dermoscopy is better tool in determining the depth of pigmentation. It gives an additional advantage to visualize the vasculature.

“…For women, risk factors associated were pregnancy, sun exposure and use of combined oral contraceptives. 21 In our study, four patients (80%) had presented with exacerbation following sun exposure. This can be explained by UV radiation directly inducing the increase of melanogenic activity, thereby causing the development of epidermal pigmentation and occurs more intensely in regions with melasma than in the adjacent skin.…”

Background: To study the spectrum of periorbital dermatoses in patients of both genders irrespective of age and identify any underlying etiology.Methods: A clinico-epidemiological study of periorbital dermatoses was done in all patients with skin lesions in and around the both eyes who visited our outpatient department. Digital photographs will be taken for all the patients with periorbital dermatosis. Data obtained was compiled, tabulated, and statistically summarized using SPSS version 16.Results: Among 110 patients, majority of patients with periorbital dermatoses, were in the age group of >50 years (40%) including 77 (70%) females and 33 (30%) males. The most common dermatoses observed in periorbital region were benign and malignant skin tumors 46 (41.8%), followed by pigmentary disorders 21 (19.1%), miscellaneous 19 (17.3%), nevoid conditions 12 (10.9%), eczema 6 (5.5%), and infections 6 (5.5%).Conclusions: Benign skin tumors and pigmentary disorders are the most common periorbital dermatoses seen in our study. Certain periorbital dermatoses like skin tag and xanthelesma are seen associated with underlying metabolic disorders.
