Abstract: This write up lays out a few commonly encountered pigmented lesions in the geriatric population attending a dermatology OPD in a tertiary care centre in India. Hyperpigmented lesions are very commonly seen in the dermatology OPD on a daily basis. This study is an observational study carried out on 100 patients attending the dermatology OPD in a tertiary care centre who satisfied the inclusion criteria of age more than 60 years with hyperpigmented lesions over the face. Such lesions can lead to psychosocial impairment as they are easily noticed. A further research with larger sample size and longer study duration can help us understand hyperpigmentation in geriatric population better.
