This study analyzed melanin pigmentation images to observe facial pigmentary demarcation lines (FPDLs) and suggest facial hyperpigmentation types for normal individuals. Four groups of FPDLs were observed, with the dark spot type being the most common. The photoaging type was more common among subjects over 40s, while the PIH type was more common in younger subjects.
BackgroundStudies on facial hyperpigmentation across different facial units are limiting. We aimed to analyze melanin pigmentation images to observe facial pigmentary demarcation lines (FPDLs) and suggest facial hyperpigmentation types for normal individuals. Materials and methods3D facial melanin pigmentation images of 173 volunteers were obtained and analyzed for the presence of FPDLs. Pigmentation severity was assessed for each of the thirteen facial pigment units. The images were then grouped according to a pattern of hyperpigmentation to suggest three facial hyperpigmentation types-dark spot, photoaging and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. ResultsFour groups of FPDLs including a novel group I were observed. Nasal, frontal, auricular were the darkest pigmented facial pigment unit, and the anterior neck was the least pigmented. The dark spot type was the most common facial hyperpigmentation type. The photoaging type and the PIH type showed age-dependent distribution, as the photoaging type was more common among the subjects over 40s, and the PIH type was more common in younger subjects. ConclusionFacial hyperpigmentation among healthy individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types II-IV is often accompanied by FPDLs and categorized into three types. Each type is modeled after the pattern of pigmentation associated with certain dermatological disorders. The practical implications of facial hyperpigmentation types can be resourceful in various fields including prevention and treatment of pigmentary disorders.
