Hello,
A deficiency of melanin in the body can easily lead to white patches on the skin. In some individuals, when melanin deficiency reaches a certain degree, it may trigger vitiligo. In such cases, it is important to support melanin production—consuming tyrosine-rich foods can help. Examples include walnuts, beef, apples, and grapes. Additionally, regular physical exercise is recommended to promote overall health.
We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
