The boy's hair and skin color differences are due to a pigmentation disorder.
research The ‘melanocyte-keratin’ mystery revisited: neither normal human epidermal nor hair follicle melanocytes express keratin 16 or keratin 6in situ
Human melanocytes in skin and hair follicles don't express keratin 16 or 6 naturally.

research Solitary Nasal Fibrofolliculoma
A rare, harmless skin tumor was found on a man's nose.
research Survival of patchwork melanoblasts is dependent upon their number in the hair follicle at the end of embryogenesis
More melanoblasts in hair follicles mean better survival and proper hair pigmentation.
research 1272 p21Waf1/Cip1 is differentially expressed in epidermal versus follicular melanocytes and melanoma cells and is phenotypically regulated by UVB-mediated apoptosis
The protein p21 is more abundant in normal skin cells than in melanoma cells and may help protect against melanoma, with UVB light affecting its levels.

Fine needle aspiration with rapid on-site evaluation is useful for diagnosing pilomatrixoma.
research An Unusual Case of Mycosis Fungoides Presenting with Multiple Atypical Morphologies in a Photoexacerbated Distribution
Mycosis fungoides can have unusual symptoms and may be misdiagnosed, but specific cell markers might suggest a lower risk of worsening.
research Preservation of melanoblasts of white hair follicles of segmental vitiligo lesions: A preliminary study
White hair follicles in vitiligo have fewer and less functional melanocytes.
research Pre‐clinical evidences for the efficacy of tryptanthrin as a potent suppressor of skin cancer
Tryptanthrin effectively suppresses non-melanoma skin cancer and is safe for normal skin.
