What is the link between the disease phenylketonuria and albinism?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Persons diagnosed with phenylketonuria must have a specialised diet to prevent further intake of proteins containing the amino acid "phenylanine hydroxylase". If this is not done, and there is no diagnosis, phenylketonuria can lead to severe consequences, one of which is albinism, and ultimately retardation. In other words: EARLY DIAGNOSIS IS IMPORTANT!

Do albinos get acne?
Pigment or the lack thereof has no connection whatsoever with bacterial growth. So, yes, there is absolutely no reason a person with albinism would not get acne based on the fact that they have albinism. People with albinism are humans, why the heck would acne not form? Unless there is some link to visual disability and perfect skin, or between protein pigments inhibiting or causing bacterial growth (WHICH THERE IS NOT) then yes, anyone can get acne.
What is the treatment for albinism in homoeopathy?
Albinism is a genetic defect where the person afflicted is homozygous recessive for albinism. So it cannot be cured. Topical treatment involves wearing clothing or sunblock to avoid skin damage, as there is usually not enough melanin to tan the skin. Protecion of the eyes, which also lack pigment in the iris, is also a concern. This can lead to retinal damage in some individuals, and should be monitored.
