Specific cells in the skin called melanocytes make melanin and when these cells are unhealthy or damaged it affects the production process of melanin in our bodies. Either too much or too little melanin will cause skin pigmentation disorders making the skin look lighter, darker, blotchy or discoloured. While some pigmentation disorders affect only small patches of skin others can spread over to the entire body. Some of the causes include
