ABSTRACT
Progressive macular hypomelanosis [PMH] is an acquired disorder of skin pigmentation, of uncertain etiology, characterized by asymptomatic hypopigmented macules, predominantly located on the trunk. There are several treatment options available, although topical clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide have been used traditionally. Good results have recently been achieved using narrow-band ultraviolet B [NB-UVB] phototherapy. Herein three cases one male and two females, belonging to ethnic Kashmiri population with progressive macular hypomelanosis are reported in view of the clinical rarity of this condition
