Depigmentation treatment in Acapulco

Depigmentation of the skin is the partial or total loss of natural color in one or more areas, due to a decrease in melanin, the pigment that gives skin its tone. It can appear as patches of variable size and shape.

Which specialist manages it? The dermatologist is the one who studies changes in skin color, and the general practitioner can guide an initial review.

Common causes: Some changes in the melanocytes, certain skin conditions, previous injuries, or autoimmune factors can influence the loss of pigment.

When to consult? When light patches appear or grow, change in appearance, or cause concern. Showing these areas to a skin professional allows for a better understanding of their origin and follow-up options.
