Accurate assessment of skin pigmentation is essential in dermatology for properly diagnosing and managing a wide range of skin conditions. Traditionally, skin colour has been evaluated through visual inspection or by using classifications like the Fitzpatrick skin type. However, these methods can be subjective, culturally biased, and often are centered around lighter skin tones, which may lead to misdiagnosis or inappropriate treatment for individuals with darker skin. With advances in technology, non-invasive imaging tools such as colorimetry and multispectral imaging now offer more precise and objective ways to measure skin pigmentation. These methods can help provide consistent and unbiased information about skin tone, benefiting both clinical care and research. Despite these technological advances, there is currently no agreed-upon standard for how to measure skin pigmentation objectively in everyday clinical practice or research settings. This study aims to explore better, more accurate ways to measure skin pigmentation using modern, non-invasive imaging technologies. Traditional methods for assessing skin colour, like visual inspection or classifying by ethnicity, are often unreliable and biased. In this study, researchers will use tools such as colorimetry and multispectral imaging to measure skin pigmentation more objectively. The study includes two groups of participants: healthy adults and adults with skin conditions. Researchers will measure a value called the m…
