In darker skin, it can often present with peripheral dark-brown to violaceus atrophic plaques with central erythema or hypopigmentation. It often also resolves with postinflammatory hyper- or hypopigmentation. This color variation in contrast with baseline pigmentation can be very disfiguring. In lighter skin, it tends to present more with hypopigmented to depigmented pink patches. ++ ++ FIGURE 43-1.
