1Department of Dermatology, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston 29425.
Abstract:
A patient with blue-gray discoloration of the face is described. Her history revealed that she had used bleaching creams containing mercury and hydroquinone for many years. Biopsy specimens of the hyperpigmented areas showed deposits that were compatible with both mercury deposition and the diagnosis of exogenous ochronosis. Dermabrasion was successfully employed to remove these deposits.
