Facial involvement in progressive macular hypomelanosis

Cutis. 2018 Apr;101(4):297-300.

Abstract

Progressive macular hypomelanosis (PMH) is a skin disorder that historically has been described as having a predominantly truncal distribution. We report 4 adult cases of PMH with facial involvement. The diagnosis was made for all 4 patients after excluding other hypopigmented diseases. This report underscores the importance of considering PMH as part of the differential for hypopigmented lesions on the face.
