Postinflammatory hypopigmentation is a common cause of acquired hypopigmentary disorders. It can be a result of cutaneous inflammation, injury or dermatological treatment. There are also many specific conditions that present with hypopigmentation other than postinflammatory hypopigmentation. Most cases of postinflammatory hypopigmentation improve spontaneously within weeks or months if the primary cause is ceased; however, it can be permanent if there is complete destruction of melanocytes. This article reviews the aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, differential diagnosis and therapeutic options for postinflammatory hypopigmentation.
炎症后色素减退是获得性色素减退性疾病的常见原因。它可能是皮肤炎症、损伤或皮肤病治疗的结果。除了炎症后色素减退外，还有许多特定的疾病会导致色素减退。如果主要原因停止，大多数炎症后色素减退的病例会在数周或数月内自发改善；然而，如果黑素细胞完全破坏，则可能是永久性的。本文综述了炎症后色素减退的病因、发病机制、临床特征、鉴别诊断和治疗选择。
