Melanocytes differentiate from melanoblasts,which are derived from neural crest cells.Melanoblasts migrate into the dermis during the early fetal period and soon enter the epidermis where they slowly differentiate into melanocytes.These cells produce melanin and distribute it to the epidermal cells after birth.Melanoblasts also migrate into the hair bulbs and differentiate into melanocytes.Melanin is distributed to the hair-forming cells before birth.
