Analytic quantification of phototype‐related regional skin complexion

Background/aims: Narrow‐band spectrophotometry that yields melanin (M) and erythema (E) indexes is a convenient method for assessing skin colour. The objective of the study was to assess the phenotype‐associated body site differences in skin complexion.
