Detailed colors:
Increase in pigmentation (eg, melasma, postinflammatory pigmentation) to determine whether the pigmentation is epidermal or dermal. Pigmented lesions have a clear border under Wood light because the light is absorbed by increased melanin.
Loss of pigmentation (eg, vitiligo, ash-leaf macules in tuberous sclerosis, and hypomelanosis of Ito) to identify affected areas in light-skinned people.
