  Fig. 1 Baseline clinical images of a 58-year-old female (A, B) and representative dermoscopic images of the face (C) and neck (D). The pigmentation presented on the entire face, but it was more pronounced on the lateral face and extended to the lateral side of the neck. In the face, pseudonetwork, grey dots/granules and telangiectatic vessels were prominently observed. In the neck, a characteristic hypopigmented network pattern (black arrow) with slight scales was observed.
