Periorbital hyperpigmentation: clinical domains

https://doi.org/10.33667/2078-5631-2025-8-74-77

Abstract

This article presents data on periorbital hyperpigmentation. A correlation analysis was performed and a new classification of periorbital hyperpigmentation was proposed depending on the predominance of pigmented and vascular components, as well as a classification by severity depending on the severity of symptoms, according to the developed visual analog scale.
