A condition of complete loss of skin color or pigmentation, or the absence of color in any body tissue.
From Greek 'a-' (without) + 'chroma' (color) + '-ia' (condition). This medical term describes the pathological state of being without color or pigmentation in the body.
Achromia is closely related to vitiligo and albinism, but the distinction matters: albinism is congenital (born with it), vitiligo is acquired patchy loss, and achromia is the general medical term for absent pigmentation—language that captures medical nuance!
