The hierarchical cluster analysis indicated that patients with periorbital melasma can be categorized into two clusters according to the surface anatomy of the face. Significant differences between cluster 1 and cluster 2 were found in lateral distance and inferolateral distance, but not in medial distance and superior distance. Comparing the two clusters, patients in cluster 2 were found to be significantly older and more commonly accompanied by melasma lesions of the temple and medial cheek.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our hierarchical cluster analysis of periorbital melasma lesions demonstrated that Asian patients with periorbital melasma can be categorized into two clusters according to the surface anatomy of the face.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/srt.12370","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,20]],"date-time":"2017-03-20T04:38:50Z","timestamp":1489984730000},"page":"552-557","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Periorbital melasma: Hierarchical cluster analysis of clinical features in Asian patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Y.
