The melanocyte is destroyed. Keratinocytes exhibit vacuolar degeneration. The function of Langerhans cells is altered.

Latanoprost-induced Skin Depigmentation
Journal of Glaucoma, 2017Latanoprost, and other prostaglandin analogs, have been previously associated with increased pigmentary reactions on the periocular skin. Here, we present a patient with paradoxical depigmentation of periocular skin within 1 year of latanoprost use in both eyes. This report is the first to document such an association, and clinicians should be aware of

In vivo depigmentation by hydroxybenzene derivatives
Melanoma Research, 1993Certain mono- and dihydroxybenzene derivatives are selectively cytotoxic for melanocytes in vivo, and can cause depigmentation of skin and hair. We produced selective melanocytotoxicity/hair depigmentation in C57Bl mice by injection of 0.032-1.0% p-t-butylcatechol (tBC) or p-hydroxyanisole (MMEH) in physiological saline.
