Summary

Hypo-pigmented skin lesions in children are of great concern in the society. They cause anxiety among children and their parents due to the social stigma attached to these conditions especially in dark skinned children. Hypo pigmented skin lesions are commonly encountered in day-to-day practice, and they pose a diagnostic challenge for the clinician. They are one of the commonest complains in the dermatology clinics and generally share the same patient complaint which is characterized by the presence of hypo or depigmented patches or macules .

Dermoscopy may be a helpful as a non-invasive tool in assisting the differential diagnosis of several hypopigmented macular lesions and has the potential to improve the diagnostic accuracy.
