As per available reports about 11 journals, 3 Conferences, 2 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Pigmentary Disorders and about 18,100 articles are being published on the current trends in Pigmentary Disorders. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. Melasma brown macules usually in a symmetric distribution over the cheeks and forehead and sometimes on the upper lip and neck. It is most often seen in women during pregnancy. Normal skin color depends on melanin, hemoglobin, and carotenoids. Melanin is the major color determinant and is responsible for variations in skin color.
