title: What's new in hypochromy.
abstract: Hypochromy is a common dermatological disorder. However, its treatment still gives unsatisfactory results. Interesting clues into the understanding of the pathophysiology of hypochromy have been recently brought about thanks to the pigmentary side effects reported with the new tyrosine kinase inhibition treatments. New therapeutic approaches to hypochromy are further discussed.
