What Is Hypopigmentation?
Hypopigmentation is a type of skin condition that occurs due to the lack or absence of melanin, the skin pigment
responsible for your skin color.
The two types of hypopigmentation happen when:• The melanocyte cells reduce the production of melanin.• There is a decrease in tyrosine, the amino acid used
by melanocytes to make melanin.

Albinism
This rare, inherited disorder is due to the absence of an enzyme that produces melanin. As a result, people with albinism have an abnormal gene that prevents the body from producing melanin. This results in the lack of pigmentation in the skin, hair and eyes, causing them to look white.

Vitiligo
This type of hypopigmentation is an autoimmune disease where the pigment-producing cells are damaged.
Vitiligo causes smooth, white patches on your skin that can appear either in certain areas or all over the body.

Pigmentation Loss
The good news is, this condition is not permanent, but it will take some time to re-pigment your skin and bring your natural colorback. In the meantime, you can use cosmetics to cover any white patches.
