The purpose of this study is to correlate subjective skin pigment measurements as reported by patient-responses to the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale versus objective classification of skin pigment utilizing Individual Typology Angle (ITA) measurements.
The Fitzpatrick scale is a numerical classification for human skin color developed in 1975 as a way to estimate the response of different types of skin to UV light. It is used by dermatologists to classify skin tone and assess the risk of skin cancer.
The Fitzpatrick scale encompasses six gradings, from I to VI. However, this does not include all skin tones, as there are significantly more not encompassed within the scale. The aim of this study is to incorporate objective measurements when identifying a patient's Fitzpatrick skin type.
