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.
