Treatment of hyperpigmentation disorders can be a lengthy process. There are several topical treatment options and hydroquinone is the most frequently used. Both combination and monotherapy are employed. These treatment options apply primarily to epidermal hyperpigmentation disorders. Dermal hyperpigmentation disorders cannot yet be effectively managed with currently available therapeutic approaches. Cosmetic disfigurement caused by hypomelanosis, especially vitiligo, can constitute a serious impairment for the patient. So far there is no definitive remedy. Better cosmetic results are generally reported for combination therapies.
