AB KEY  POINTSPigmentary  demarcation  lines  are  normal  boundaries  of  the  skin  that  represent  a  transition  between  levels  of  melanin  pigment  in  the  skin  corresponding  to  dermatomal  innervation.Longitudinal  melanonychia  is  a  normal  pattern  of  nail  pigmentation  seen  in  patients  with  skin  of  color.  It  is  important  to  differentiate  normal  nail  pigmentation  from  malignant  melanocytic  proliferations  and  extraneous  pigment  deposition.Physiologic  pigmentation  of  the  oral  mucosa  is  commonly  seen  in  patients  with  skin  of  color.Erythema  dyschromicum  perstans  is  seen  more  often  in  people  with  skin  of  color.Lability  of  pigment  in  the  darker-skinned  population  causes  dramatic  changes  in  skin  color  after  inflammatory  processes  of  the  skin.Many  common  dermatologic  conditions  manifest  with  follicular  or  papular  lesions  in  dark-skinned  individuals.Keloidal  scarring  is  common  in  patients  with  skin  of  color.
