What is Hypopigmentation?
Hypopigmentation is characterized by skin patches that are lighter than the surrounding areas. This occurs due to a decrease in melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. One of the most common forms of hypopigmentation is vitiligo.
Types of Hypopigmentation
1. Vitiligo: Characterized by white patches on the skin
2. Albinism: Complete or partial absence of melanin in the body
3. Pityriasis Alba: Light patches commonly seen on children's faces
4. Post-inflammatory Hypopigmentation: Lightening of skin following inflammation or injury
Causes of Hypopigmentation
The exact cause of hypopigmentation can vary depending on the specific type. Some common factors include:
- - Autoimmune disorders
- - Genetic factors
- - Skin trauma or injury
- - Certain medications
- - Nutritional deficiencies
- - Infections
- Symptoms of Hypopigmentation
The primary symptom of hypopigmentation is the appearance of light or white patches on the skin. Other symptoms may include:
- Premature graying of hair (in some cases of vitiligo)
- Lightening of the retina (in albinism)
- Itching or redness (in some forms of hyperpigmentation)
Diagnosis of Hypopigmentation
Diagnosis typically involves:
1. Physical examination
2. Detailed medical history

4. Skin biopsy (in some cases)
5. Blood tests to check for underlying conditions
