    Glossary Pigmentation Disorders

    conditions affecting skin, hair, or eye color due to melanin abnormalities

    Pigmentation disorders are conditions that affect the color of your skin, hair, or eyes due to abnormal melanin production. These disorders can result in patches of skin that are lighter (hypopigmentation) or darker (hyperpigmentation) than the surrounding areas, and can be caused by genetic factors, sun exposure, or underlying health issues.
