Albinism is a congenital hereditary skin disease, which primarily manifests as the pigment loss or localized, or complete depigmentation of the skin, hair, and eyes. Clinically, it can be categorized into localized albinism and generalized albinism. The onset of the disease may be significantly related to defects in certain genes, hence it has a strong genetic component. Its manifestation includes whitening of the skin and hair, as well as loss of pigment in the eyes. Due to the lack of pigment, symptoms may include photophobia, tearing, and a decrease in vision. Currently, there are no particularly effective treatments for albinism. The main approach includes avoiding light exposure and applying sunblocks and ointments to prevent the occurrence of skin tumors.
