INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES

Pigmentary disorders (PD) are frequent even if little is known on their real-world prevalence and impact. This first worldwide survey evaluates the self-reported prevalence of PD such as Melasma, Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), Solar Lentigo, Vitiligo, Peri-Orbital Hyperpigmentation (POH) and Axillary Hyperpigmentation (AH), their impact on quality of life (QOL) and stigmatization. We present here the results of Vitiligo.
