    Argyria is a rare condition that causes the skin to turn blue or grey. This discolouration happens when the body comes into contact with excessive amounts of silver.There is no defined treatment for this disease. It can be treated by the restriction of the underlying cause.This could be the use of colloidal silver therapy, hydroquinone usage for skin conditions, silver dental fillings etc.When the  Read More

  • Albinism

    Albinism is a rare genetic condition caused by mutations of certain genes that affect the amount of melanin your body produces.

They are at an increased risk of vision, skin, and social issues; the patients aren't born with the usual amount of melanin pigment.Melanin is a ch  Read More
