Albino.....?!


Question: How do you know if you're albino? Like I have really blonde hair and pale skin, but my eyes aren't red. Joking around everyone says im albino but I really don't think I am. How could you know if you are?

Also, if you are, is there anything you can do about it?

An albino has no pigment in their skin. Their hair is milky white and their skin is a pale cream color...much lighter that what you would call a fair skinned person. Their eyes look pink because of the lack of pigment. Some albinos have blue eyes. If you are curious, ask your doctor.

Incidently, a red-headed person is one step below an albino...they also have very little pigment in their skin and hair...and many have icy blue eyes.

Nothing you can do about it and I would assume that they would have known when you were a baby and that somewhere down the line your parents would have said something about it. You can't change your skin so no I don't think there is anything you could do about it.

Here's a link to the wikipedia article on albinism:

Here's a link to a picture of a girl with albinism. "Red eyes" are not always present .
