Reasons for dark skin

Whitening has always been pursued by many women. As the saying goes, a white complexion can hide all ugliness, but why do so many people have dark skin?

The reason why the skin is dark mainly depends on the ability of melanocytes to synthesize melanin. Melanocytes are distributed between the basal cells of the human epidermis. The tyrosinase they contain can oxidize tyrosine into polysaccharides, which then go through a series of metabolic processes to finally produce melanin. The more melanin is produced, the darker the skin will be; conversely, the whiter the skin will be.

Many drugs can change normal skin color. For example, chloroquine has a strong affinity for melanin, which aggravates the darkening of skin color. About 10% of patients taking quinine develop blue pigment spots on their faces. Sedatives pose the greatest threat to skin color. Those who take them for a long time will develop butterfly spots on their face and neck, and their arms and other parts will turn brown-gray, light blue or light purple. In addition, repeated use of mercury-containing ointments can also leave brown pigmentation on the affected area. There are more anti-cancer drugs that cause skin color changes. About 10% of patients taking quinine develop blue pigment spots on their faces. Among sedatives, chlorpromazine poses the greatest threat to skin color. Those who take it for a long time will develop butterfly spots on their faces and necks, and brown-gray, light blue or light purple spots on their arms and other parts of their bodies.
