Abstract
Facial pigmentation disorders are prevalent dermatological conditions that vary across different skin types. Understanding these patterns is crucial for effective diagnosis and management. To evaluate the patterns of facial pigmentation disorders in relation to different skin types in a diverse population. This cross‐sectional study was conducted with a sample size of 120 participants presenting with facial pigmentation disorders. Clinical evaluations were performed to diagnose and categorize the disorders based on skin type, utilizing the Fitzpatrick classification. Gender distribution revealed a significant female predominance, particularly in cases of melasma. Treatment outcomes varied, with topical agents being the most commonly employed therapy across all disorders. This study highlights the significant variations in facial pigmentation disorders across different skin types, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches in diagnosis and treatment. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and long‐term treatment outcomes.
