Discoloration

Skin discoloration can be due to several different reasons, but the emotional toll can be significant no matter the cause.  Primary skin conditions (vitiligo, melasma, among many others) or secondary findings (post inflammatory hyper- or hypopigmentation) can lead to skin discoloration.  The patient’s skin type, severity of discoloration, duration of discoloration, distribution of pigment are all factors that are used to determine treatment plans.  Your board-certified dermatologist can discuss your specific discoloration and best treatments.
