[Progressive macular confluent hypomelanosis in mixed ethnic melanodermic subjects: an epidemiologic study of 511 patients].

Abstract

Due to the fact that the examination was mandatory, it was possible to identify a large number of cases unknown to dermatologists and sometimes to the subject himself. The clinical description corresponded to those given in the literature, but the higher frequency in males, the duration of the clinical course and the sensitivity of clearer skin appear to have been unreported to date.
