#depigmentation

• Achromatosis — A generalized pathological condition characterized by the total absence or severe diminution of normal pigmentation within a tissue, organ, or the entire organism. In dermatology, the term describes severe states of cutaneous depigmentation (such as extreme forms of albinism or vitiligo universalis) where cells no longer produce melanin.
• Achromia — The total congenital or acquired absence of normal pigmentation of the skin, hair, or other tissues, caused by the lack or destruction of melanocytes and melanin production. This general medical term covers manifestations such as generalized albinism or completely white patches occurring in advanced vitiligo.
• Leukoderma — A congenital or acquired cutaneous pathological condition characterized by the total absence or severe and extensive diminution of normal skin pigmentation, manifesting as broad white patches or generalized depigmentation of the epidermis. This structural disorder is caused by the absence, destruction, or chronic metabolic dysfunction of melanocytes, leading to a complete halt in melanin production and resulting in extreme skin sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.
• Albinism condition — The state, quality, or condition of being albino; the evident presence of albinism manifestations within a living organism; an abstract term sometimes used as a rare synonym in old scientific literature to describe the depigmentation anomaly.
