Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypopigmentary and Depigmentary disorders form a major burden of pre-teen disease. The study objectives were to evaluate the clinical profile of hypopigmentary and depigmentary disorders in pre-teen patients who attended the Dept. of Dermatology of a tertiary care centre of North-Eastern India. Vitiligo, pityriasis versicolor, pityriasis alba, nevus anemicus, nevus depigmentosus, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, atopic dermatitis, tinea incognito and seborrhoeic dermatitis were the diseases we came across and included in our study. MATERIALS AND METHODS The case records of initial 100 children who attended Department of Dermatology with hypopigmentary and depigmentary lesions from Jan 2018 were studied. Proper history was taken, and appropriate investigations were done. RESULTS In our study, pityriasis alba consisted of maximum number of cases, 32% followed by pityriasis versicolor. CONCLUSION Hypopigmentary disorders on the face of pre-teen children must be identified at the earliest and after diagnosing proper communication with the child and the parents must be done.
