Madam, hypomelanosis of ito, also called incontinentia pigmenti achromians, is a rare birth defect that causes streaked, whirled, or mottled patches of light-colored skin. These skin changes often develop within the first two years of life. Other symptoms may include varying degrees of learning disability, seizures, increased body hair, scoliosis, and strabismus. While the exact cause is not known, hypomelanosis of ito syndrome is strongly linked to its genetics and many patients have chromosomal abnormalities. The disease may be caused by abnormal nerve termination in the involved areas of the skin. Girls tend to be affected more commonly than boys. Our doctors usually handle this kind of issue with the help of laser treatment or chemicasl peeling. But that is only determined by diagnosing the skin type and nature of the patients. We are inviting you to avail our free video consultation service. This shall allow you to discuss this kind of matter with one of our senior doctors without visiting the clinic in-person.
