What Is Hypopigmentation? Hypopigmentation is an umbrella term for pigmentation disorders resulting in white or pinkish skin over the body due to a reduction in skin melanin or the melanocyte cells. The melanocyte cells are responsible for producing limited melanin proteins that decide our skin, hair, and iris color. They use an amino acid called tyrosine to form the melanin proteins. However, exposure to sunlight and some genetic conditions can also increase the amount of melanin produced in our body. Which is why our skin tans under the sun or becomes darker over a healing wound.
What Are Common Causes Of Hypopigmentation? Some congenital disorders can directly or indirectly affect melanin production in our body, causing various types of hypopigmentation conditions, which will be discussed further. It is more commonly caused due to a traumatic injury to the skin, such as burns, scratches, or cuts. Sometimes, blisters, acne, and skin infections can also cause abnormal skin melanin production. Hypopigmentation is a common side effect of improper or failed skin resurfacing treatments, laser treatments, and chemical peels.
