Human skin pigmentation results from the enzymatically controlled synthesis of melanin pigments in specialized organelles (melano‐somes) produced within epidermal melanocytes, followed by their transfer to neighboring keratinocytes and their distribution through‐out the epidermis.1 Constitutive skin pigmentation seems to be mostly genetically determined,2 being altered by numerous intrinsic and extrinsic factors affecting the epidermal melanin unit
