摘要：
This article lays out the common hypopigmented\depigmented lesions in geriatric population encountered in dermatology OPD in a tertiary care centre in India. Hypopigmented/depigmented lesions is commonly encountered in a dermatology OPD on a day to day basis. This study is an observational study carried out on 100 patients in dermatology OPD in a tertiary care centre who satisfied the inclusion criteria of age more than 60 years with hypopigmented or depigmented lesions. Hypopigmented/depigmented lesions have a great impact on patients aesthetic appearance leading to psychosocial impairment. A further research with larger sample size and longer study duration can help us understand hypomelanosis in geriatric population better.
