Waardenburg syndrome
Pigmentation means coloring. Skin pigmentation disorders affect the color of your skin. Your skin gets its color from a pigment called melanin. Special cells in the skin make melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production. Some pigmentation disorders affect just patches of skin. Others affect your entire body. If your body makes too much melanin, your skin gets darker. Pregnancy, Addison's disease, and sun exposure all can make your skin darker. If your body makes too little melanin, your skin gets lighter. Vitiligo is a condition that causes patches of light skin. Albinism is a genetic condition affecting a person's skin. A person with albinism may have no color, lighter than normal skin color, or patchy missing skin color. Infections, blisters and burns can also cause lighter skin.

Little redness is there, as you can see in the images, which should have disappeared by now as the injury was 1 month back. No pain on palpation. Pain occurs with even minor twisting of the thumb and also with percussion in the marked region. Please check the x-ray & clinical images from today. Age - 33 years No comorbidity No pain in other joints as such.
