“…As a distinct entity, hyperpigmented macules on the faces of young children have limited references in authoritative definitions and descriptions in existing books and the literature. In 2014, Hernández-Martín et al 1 reviewed 25 children with similar clinical findings for the first time and summarized the clinical features of hyperpigmented macules. The clinical manifestations of 16 patients in this study were consistent with the descriptions in the above literature.…”

The aim was to describe the characteristic dermatoscopic features of hyperpigmented macules on the faces of young children. Sixteen patients with typical clinical presentations of hyperpigmented macules on the faces of young children were included in this study. The lesions were evaluated using a dermatoscope. The clinical and dermatoscopic features were analyzed and summarized. There were 12 boys and 4 girls enrolled in the study. The hyperpigmented macules had an age of onset ranging from 1 to 18 months (mean, 6.12 months). The hyperpigmentation was distributed on the forehead and/or temple, as follows: forehead (n = 8 [50%]); temple (n = 3 [18.8%]); and both sites (n = 5 [31.2%]). Fifteen patients (93.7%) had pseudoreticular pigmentation, 1 patient (6.3%) had reticular pigment with pseudoreticular pigment, and 100% had erythema and linear/branching vessels. Light brown pseudoreticular pigment and linear vessels were shown to be the 2 major dermatoscopic manifestations of hyperpigmented macules on the faces of young children.

“…Hyperpigmented macules on the faces of young children are acquired nonsegmental hyperpigmented macules on the forehead and temples that appear without preceding erythema, edema, or desquamation. 1 Hyperpigmented macules were first named and described by Hernández-Martín in 2014. The etiology and pathogenesis are unclear.…”
