Albinism or albinism, as it is commonly known, is the condition whereby an individual has a lack of the pigment melanin found in the skin and hair. Melanin is the primary substance that gives coloration to the hair, eyes, and skin. Melanin production is normally normal in humans but there are times when melanin production is either reduced or not present at all.
Albinism can be hereditary in nature or can be caused by certain external factors
Albinoism or albinism as it is known scientifically is a medical condition whereby there is no color in hair or skin. Albinos have a deficiency of melanin, which is an essential protein that is responsible for the production of color in the skin and hair. Melanin is a naturally occurring natural substance in the human body that gives color to the skin, hair, and eye of humans. However, albinism can be caused by mutations in DNA. Such mutations can be inherited (from parents) or passed down through generations.
Albinonessa can also be caused by exposure to sunlight. Human skin and hair contain melanin, which is the main cause of human discoloration. Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can lead to a decrease or disappearance of melanin, resulting in loss of hair and skin color. Melanin in human skin is responsible for the color pigmentation that occurs in humans; however, in albino people, the presence of melanin does not change color.
Hair coloration can also be caused by a lack of melanin in the human body. In albino people, hair color does not contain dyes due to their inability to produce melanin. It is often seen in people with red hair due to a lack of melanin in the hair. When melanin levels decrease, red hair turns blue.
Melanin in humans is created in the body thanks to the presence of the human enzyme melange, which is responsible for the formation of the human natural pigment melanin. Melanin is an essential element in the human body, but if this enzyme is absent in the body, the human body loses its ability to produce melanin, which leads to discoloration of the skin and hair. It is the presence of this enzyme in the human body that helps maintain color in the human body.
The human body produces the other type of natural pigment, beta-carotene, which is responsible for the color in plants. Beta-carotene is produced by melanin and it is responsible for giving color in vegetables and fruits. Albinoness can be caused by deficiency of beta-carotene in human body. When the body fails to produce enough beta-carotene, it leads to the absence of pigmentation in human body.
Albino pigmentation in human body cannot be reversed or cured by topical application of vitamin A or vitamin C
If the amount of beta-carotene is low in the body, there will be a problem with the growth of hair in the human body. Hair color may be gray or yellowish in color because of lack of sufficient supply of beta-carotene. The lack of vitamin C in the body can cause hair color in the human body to be grey or brown. When growth of hair is not possible due to lack of vitamin C in the human body, there are chances of occurrence of bald patches on the head, which are usually found on the upper portion of the head. Bald patches on head are also known as alopecia.
Sometimes, albino person's hair color can be changed by using a cream, gel or solution that contains beta-carotene. This method can be very costly because of the amount of vitamin C needed. The cost of taking a cream or gel or solution containing beta-carotene should be compared with the price of the vitamin. so that a balanced equation can be made.
