People who live tropical produce more melanin to protect the body from exposure to sunlight. Therefore the people of tropical skin darker or brownish than the cold area.


If melanin is damaged by the use of creams containing hydrocinon or mercury, then sunshine will go directly into the skin, over time could mutate into skin cancer.

Melanin actually be reduced but not excessive. Equate it with the color of skin on the breast or the upper inner arm which became our benchmark. Lack of melanin but can cause skin cancer also make skin wrinkles, because the existing collagen in the skin is damaged by the sun without protection again.
