December 23, 2017


The skin of people living with Albinism has almost no way
to protect itself against the rays of the sun. It burns
badly after long exposure to the sun and the skin itches
and hurts.

The skin of an Albino tries its best to protect
the body from the rays but as it has only small quantities
of pigments it can only create some dark spots (moles).

Therefore, the dark spots are a sign that the skin is not
well enough protected from the sun.

If a person living
with Albinism is able to completely avoid the sun’s ray,
the skin will have few moles, or none at all.
