Medical Conditions - Hypopigmented Patches

Melanin is the pigmentation that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. In hypopigmentation, there is a decrease in the level of melanin with tyrosine. They cause patches on the skin with reduced skin tone compared with the normal tone. Hypopigmentation is seen in cases of albinism, vitiligo, and pityriasis alba.
