How do dermatologists figure out the exact type of pigmentation you have? Do they use special lights or tests to tell if the pigment is deep or superficial?

Dermatologists analyse the skin and the type of pigmentation by using tools like Wood’s Lamp and Dermoscopy. They will also evaluate the condition by taking a clinical examination and the client's history. Accordingly, they will classify if the pigmentation is superficial or deep and suggest the right treatment plan.
