If melanocytes are not functioning properly, it can lead to various skin conditions such as vitiligo, where patches of skin lose their pigment, resulting in uneven skin tone. Additionally, impaired melanocyte function can increase susceptibility to sun damage and skin cancer due to reduced melanin production, which normally provides some protection against ultraviolet radiation. Furthermore, it may affect hair pigmentation, leading to premature graying or other hair color changes.
