Abstract

Background: Cheiloscopy is a forensic investigation technique that deals with identification of humans based on lips traces. Several studies had been conducted to determine the distribution of different lip print pattern in some clinical condition with genetic influence, such as hypertention and the inheritance of cleft lip and palate. Melasma is one of skin disease which is also genetically affected. This study was aimed to find out cheiloscopy and its pattern in patients with melasma compared with control. Methods: The study compared lip print pattern between 30 individuals with melasma and 30 healthy controls. Lip prints were collected using cellophane tape and recorded in white chart paper. All four quadrant of lip were observed. Results: Type IV of lip prints dominated all four quadrants in individuals with melasma. From healthy controls, type I was predominant in three quadrants of lip. Conclusion: The result from the present study indicates a significant association between lip print pattern and melasma. Therefore, it may be possible to predict risks of developing melasma in each person with significant association from lip prints
