Albinism treatment in Mexicali

Let's start by defining it: albinism is a genetic condition characterized by little or no production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. It is present from birth and accompanies the person throughout life.

Common characteristics: very light skin and hair, greater skin sensitivity to sunlight, and visual changes such as light sensitivity or reduced visual acuity.

Care and follow-up: careful protection of the skin from the sun and monitoring of eye health are part of the usual care throughout life.

Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist and the ophthalmologist are key in follow-up, and the pediatrician provides support during childhood. Keeping regular professional follow-up helps care for the skin and vision and address questions as they arise.
