Periorbital melanosis and its possible association with insulin resistance and vitamin D deficiency: A pilot case-control study
POM was associated with indices of IR and vitamin D deficiency. However, the exact causal link among POM, IR, and vitamin D needs to be established. However, the results of this pilot study suggest that POM may have potential as a cutaneous non-invasive marker of these metabolic disorders which would assist in detecting and treating them at an early stage.
