Genetics, sun exposure, and some drugs are the three main factors that contribute to skin pigmentation. [4] The most frequent cause of low melanin concentration (hypopigmentation) is prior skin trauma, which includes skin lesions including blisters, burns, infections, exposure to chemicals, and other wounds.
