  • Title: The color of skin: brown diseases of the skin, nails, and mucosa.
    Author: Kutlubay Z, Cesur SK, Aşkın Ö, Tüzün Y.
    Journal: Clin Dermatol; 2019; 37(5):487-506. PubMed ID: 31896404.
    Abstract:
    Brown diseases comprise disorders leading to hyperpigmentation in skin and nails. Melasma is an acquired skin disorder that is characterized by brownish macules that typically occur on the face. Schamberg disease, also known as progressive pigmented purpura, is characterized by brown pigmentation with pepper spots on their edges. We summarize the epidemiology, pathogenesis, histologic features, and treatment choices for additional brown diseases, including melasma, pigmented purpuric dermatoses, postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, drug-induced hyperpigmentation, and pigmentations due to systemic or physiologic conditions.
