ABSTRACT
Dermoscopy assumes paramount significance in the assessment of disorders of hyperpigmentation in dark-skinned patients as they may clinically look quite similar among each other due to the natural brownish background.1 Additionally, many hyperpigmented dermatoses involve the face with consequent aesthetic issues in bioptic sampling, thereby making dermoscopic assessment even more relevant in the work-up of such conditions in order to reduce the number of biopsies or guiding the sampling toward the most relevant lesional area.1
