-Pigmentary changes often pass unnoticed in donkeys and they are rare.
-Localised pigmentary changes can be either abnormally exaggerated
-pigmentation ('''melanosis or even melanoma''') or reduced pigmentation
-([[Skin Glossary - Pathology|'''vitiligo''']]). The former may occur as [[Skin Glossary - Pathology|'''acanthosis nigricans''']] in areas of continued
-skin-to-skin contact such as the axilla and groin. It can also develop
-spontaneously in donkeys of all ages. Secondary loss of pigmentation can
-occur at sites of wounding, scarring or skin inflammation.
