What is albinism (congenital graying of skin and hair)?

Congenital skin color and gray hair means less production of melain (melanin), which determines skin, hair and eye colors. It is a hereditary disease that cannot be produced at all.

As a result, people with this disease have pale or no color in their hair, skin and eyes. Having this different appearance makes them stand out from the human environment and make them feel segregated.

Most of these people cannot tolerate sunlight. And they have a higher risk of skin cancer.

In fact, there is no cure for this congenital disease. But they can protect their skin and improve their vision by taking regular care.

How common is albinism (congenital skin color and gray hair)?

This disease is common. It can be any age. The disease can be managed by reducing the factors that make it more likely to occur.

You should consult your doctor for more information.
