Pathophysiology of PIH
In PIH:melanocyte activity ….to
be stimulated by: LTC4, prostaglandins E2 and D2, thromboxane-
2, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, epidermal growth factor, and reactive oxygen species .
First-line therapy (PIH) typically consists of :
Photoprotection (a sunscreen) + topical depigmenting
Topical tyrosinase inhibitors, such as:hydroquinone, azelaic acid, kojic acid, arbutin, and certain licorice extracts, can effectively lighten areas of hypermelanosis.
Recent clinical studies have shown that:
topical 5% methimazole,
Topical 2% dioic acid
can successfully treat hyperpigmentation secondary to a variety of etiologies../(PIH).
One of the most common…CIRCUMSCRIBED DISORDERS…
Melasmais an acquired symmetrical pigmentary disorder where confluent grey-brown patches typically appear on the face. %90 of individuals are womenIt is A disease with considerable psychological impactsThe management of melasma is challenging and requires a long-term treatment plan.
factors implicated in the etiopathogenesis of
melasma One of the most important factors in the
development of melasma is ultraviolet exposure from sunlight or other sources
photosensitizing and anticonvulsant medication
mild ovarian or thyroid dysfunction certain cosmetics.
The centrofacial pattern is the most common and involves: the cheeks, nose, forehead, upper lip, and chin.
Wood's lamp examination is of benefit classifiying melasma(epidermal,dermal,mixed/..)
Treatment of melasma, remains a challenge
Kligman and Willis :
hydroquinone (5%) with tretinoin (0.1%) And dexamethasone (0.1%).
Prolonged HQ usage may lead to
untoward effects like
exogenous ochronosis.
In 2006, (FDA) released a statement proposing a ban on all OTC HQ agents based on rodent studies, which suggested that oral HQ may be a carcinogen
so,
Many agents used in the treatment of hyperpigmentation act as tyrosinase inhibitors.
Therapeutic effects:azelaic acid inhibit the energy production and/or DNA synthesis of hyperactive melanocytes,
azelaic acid antityrosinase activity.
azelaic acid This may also account for the beneficial effect on postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. azelaic acid 20% cream twice daily over a period of 12 weeks
Melasma & new treatment modalities:
Tranexamic acid tablets were prescribed at a dosage of 250 mg twice daily for a therapeutic period of 6 months.
75% good to excellent responseNo side effects except hypomenorrhea and mild GI upset in <10%
Other Melasma drugs: Arbutin ,(3-5 %) a herbal agent ,,
higher concentrations of arbutin can lead to a paradoxical hyperpigmentation.
Synthetic forms of arbutin, alpha-arbutin and deoxyarbutin, exhibit greater ability to inhibit tyrosinase
Adding kojic acid, betulinic acid and niacinamideTo arbutin gives better inhibition of Tyrosinase and
higher efficacy

ERYTHEMA DYSCHROMICUM PERSTANS
(ashy dermatosis)
ERYTHEMA DYSCHROMICUM PERSTANSMost common in individuals with skin phototypes III–IV(women are more commonly affected) Ashy, gray–brown to blue–gray macules and patches in a symmetric distribution
Lesions favor the neck, trunk and proximal extremities Causes: ■ Genetic susceptibility ■Toxic effects of chemicals such as ammonium nitrate or barium sulphate ■ worm infestation ■ Viral infections ■ Adverse effect of drugs and medications
Pigmentary incontinence vacuolar degeneration
(ashy dermatosis)
Erythema dyschromicum perstans
(also known as "Ashy dermatosis," ) is a skin condition with age
of onset almost always before 40 years old
characterized by skin lesions that are usually symmetrical and generalized
A consistently effective treatment is not currently availableBut some case series responded to oral corticosteroids
Treatment/ ashy dermatosis ...
The use of narrow-band UVB phototherapy has shown success in a few patients
A low-potency topical steroid applied twice a day to the affected areas may be used, with or without a 4% hydroquinone cream for the hyperpigmentation
A patient from Turkey was described to have responded remarkably well to treatment with dapsone
Diff. diagnosis , for ashy dermatosis
Lichen planus pigmentosus
LICHEN PLANUS PIGMENTOSUS
Lichen planus pigmentosus (LPP) is an uncommon variant of lichen planus that favors individuals with skin phototypes III–V, including those from India Latin America and the Middle East.
LPP usually has its onset during the third or fourth decade of life; it presents as oval or round, brown, gray–brown or dark brown macules and patches in either sun-exposed areas (especially the forehead, temples and neck) or intertriginous zones.
There may be no associated symptoms versus mild pruritus or burning, and, in contrast to some cases of EDP, early lesions do not have an erythematous border
Gray–brown to dark brown macules and patches in either a photodistribution or an inverse (intertriginous) pattern
Tacrolimus (protopic ) ointment is effective in
LPP

Amyloidosis a spectrum of disorders characterized by the deposition of amyloid within the skin and other tissues .
Primary (localized) cutaneous amyloidosis is subdivided into three major forms– macular, lichenoid and nodular
the first two are associated with hyperpigmentation.
The most common locations are the upper back (macular amyloidosis) and the extensor surface of the lower extremities (lichen amyloidosis). Areas of involvement are often pruritic, and because rubbing plays a key role in the production of lesions, there is a characteristic rippled pattern with parallel bands or ridges of hyperpigmentation.
Histologically, melanophages as well as amyloid deposits that stain positively with antikeratin antibodies are seen within the upper dermis.

Reticulate and zosteriform (“Zebra-like”) hyperpigmentation, in whorls and streaks
is a disorder of pigmentation that develops within a few weeks of birth and progresses for one to two years before stabilizing.
Treatment ((LWNH)) : chemical peel Q-S laser
A little help in some patients but, a proven treatment approach for LWNH does not exist.

Cutaneous findings are the most common manifestation of IP
and usually represent the presenting signs. They are divided into four overlapping stages: (1) vesiculobullous, which favors the extremities during
the first few months of life (but occasionally recurs during childhood in association with a febrile illness);
(2) verrucous, which favors the distal extremities in patients one to six months of age (and sometimes adolescents);
(3) hyperpigmented, which favors the trunk and intertriginous sites from three months of age through adolescence; and
(4) hypopigmented/atrophic, which affects the calves in adolescents and adults
The hyperpigmentation
of the third stage(IP) is seen in just about
all patients,
beginning at 3-6 months of life.
In contrast to the vesicular and
verrucous lesions, the pigmentary
changes are generally truncal in distribution and not
proceeded by inflammatory
changes.

An Uncommon Cause of Oral Pigmentation ….
Laugier-Hunziker syndrome
is a rare acquired macular hyperpigmentation of oral mucosa and lips frequently associated with longitudinal pigmentation of the nails
The pathogenesis is unknown, but no systemic involvement no family history of the disease or no intestinal polyposis, or
no malignant predisposition has been described

Urticaria pigmentosa
Rubbing the skin lesions causes a hive-like bump. Younger children may develop fluid-filled blisterThe face may also flushed.
In severe cases, the following symptoms :
•Diarrhea
•Fainting
•Headache
• tachycardia
usually affects the neck, arms, legs and trunk of children and young adults. The rash consists of reddish-brown spots
The exact cause of this uncommon disease is unknown but recent research suggests genetic change in a protein (called c-kit) on the surface of mast cells may result in the abnormal proliferation of these cells.
Variety of factors can cause or worsen the symptoms of urticaria pigmentosa:
Physical stimuli such as heat, friction, and excessive exercise
Bacterial toxins Venom Eye drops containing dextran Alcohol Morphine Emotional stress
Cetirizineloratadinefexofenadine
more superior to first generations
Mast cell stabilizers

Mucosal lentigines (also known as "Labial, penile, and vulvar melanosis," and "Melanotic
macules")
is a cutaneous condition characterized by :light brown macules on mucosal surfaces
Lentiginosis refers
to the
presence of lentigines in large numbers or in a distinctive
configuration

"coffee with milk" and refers to their light-brown color
They can be treated with
Q -Switch lasers
Oculodermal melanocytosis(Nevus of Ota )
Nevus of Ota
Epidemiology
is more common in Japanese, in women (9 times) with onset either in the perinatal period or around puberty
Etiology
genetic factors are thought to be important but familial cases are rare.
Pathogenesis
represents aborted embryonic migration of melanocytes from neural crest to epidermis. Late pubertal onset is explained by pigmentation of the amelanotic nevoid cells present at birth by adolescent spurt of sex hormones.
Clinical features
is characterized by speckled or mottled coalescing blue-grey pigmentation of the area supplied by ophthalmic and maxillary divisions of trigeminal nerve. It is usually unilateral (90%).
topical therapy is of no valueQ-switch lasers

In patients with vitamin B12 deficiency, the following skin lesions are reported:
skin hyperpigmentation, vitiligo, hair changes, recurrent angular stomatitis
Hyperpigmentation of the extremitiesespecially over the dorsum of the hands and feet, with accentuation over the interphalangeal joints and terminal phalanges
Drug induced reactions
Drug-induced pigmentary abnormalities classified into 3 groups,
hyperpigmentation/melanosis
hypopigmentation/leukoderma and
dyspigmentation or occurrence of unusual skin color.
DRUG-INDUCED ‘HYPERPIGMENTATION’
Although several classes of drugs are known to induce ‘hyperpigmentation’, the most common are: minocycline, phenothiazines antimalarials, chemotherapeutic agents Zidovudine Amiodarone
mucosal pigmentations and Longitudinal or horizontal melanonychia may also be present
pigmentation usually resolves with discontinuation of the offending drug,
but the course may be prolonged
Photoleukomelanodermatitis of Kobori thiazides tetracyclines
followed by exposure to sunlightEdematous erythema with slight itching appeared on the sun-exposed areas ,the cutaneous lesions almost disappeared after drug stop
but pigmentations and depigmentations develop in spots in sun-exposed areas.
Photopatch and oral challenge tests were positive.
Summary:Facial melanoses (FM) are a common presentation in dermatologic patients, causing cosmetic disfigurement with considerable psychological impact. Some of the well defined causes of FM include melasma, Riehl's melanosis, Lichen planus pigmentosus, and poikiloderma of Civatte. But there is considerable overlap in features amongst the clinical entities. Etiology in most of the causes is unknown, but some factors such as UV radiation in melasma, exposure to chemicals in EDP, exposure to allergens in Riehl's melanosis are implicated. Diagnosis is generally based on clinical features. The treatment of FM includes removal of aggravating factors, vigorous photoprotection, and some form of active pigment reduction either with topical agents or physical modes of treatment. Topical agents include hydroquinone (HQ), which is the most commonly used agent, often in combination with retinoic acid, corticosteroids, azelaic acid, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. Chemical peels are important modalities of physical therapy, other forms include lasers and dermabrasion.
