The Fitzpatrick Scale (also known as skin type or phototype) is a system for classifying skin based on the amount of melanin naturally present in skin and its response to ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. It was developed in 1975, by Dr Thomas B. Fitzpatrick, a dermatologist at the Harvard Medical School. In the years since, the categories have been revised and refined and are still widely used today.
