摘要
Melasma is a common acquired hyperpigmentation disorder that predominantly affects females with skin of colour. This article provides a comprehensive review of the dermoscopy features observed in melasma in order to make the correct diagnosis, exclude differential diagnoses, inform treatment decision-making and recognize treatment-related adverse effects. Melasma is a common acquired hyperpigmentation disorder that predominantly affects females with skin of colour. It is difficult to treat and impacts on people's quality of life, owing to its predilection for the face. In addition to helping make the correct diagnosis, dermoscopy can assist in the exclusion of differential diagnoses, to inform treatment decision-making and to recognize treatment-related adverse effects.
