      Alice Kamau answered on 23 May 2018:


      Melanocytes are skin cells which produce melanin. A complete absence of skin colour usually means that melanocytes have been destroyed. Thanks to innovative treatment, melanocytes transplantation is now possible. Melanocytes transplantation involves taking melanocytes from a healthy area of the skin and transfer them as cellular suspension onto the de-pigmented patches.
