The melanocytes are special cells that produce a pigment, called melanin, which gives us our coloring.
Black people have more melanin production in their skin, while Caucasians have less.
Albinos have none at all. Their skin is pure white and their eyes are light blue or pink. Besides for the skin, melanin-producing cells are also found in the mouth, eye, gut and vaginal areas. Fortunately, newer treatments give greater hope for melanoma patients than before. The skin is a tissue , meaning that it is a collection of cells organized as a unit.
