Pigmentation disorders are disturbances of human skin color.[1] There may be a loss or reduction, which may be related to loss of melanocytes or the inability of melanocytes to produce melanin or transport melanosomes correctly.[1]
Most pigmentation disorders involve the underproduction or overproduction of melanin.[2][3]
