how to increase the melanin in body skin?

Accepted Answer

No Safe Way: Content is genetically determined. Increase in melanin is an injury reaction to sun (uv) exposure, or from tanning beds.Never advisable to do this as long term effects result in aging and skin cancer.

Question 7

how to reduce melanin from face naturally?

Accepted Answer

Avoid the sun...: Melanin is produced in response to exposure to sunlight (or from tanning salon). Thus, the only way to reduce it naturally is to avoid exposure to sunlight (indoor household lights dont count). Topical bleaching cream (lustra--otc) may help, but will redarken on sun exposure. Laser treatments can be quite effective as well. Consult your doc.  Good luck.

Question 9

how can i reduce the growth of melanin to make my skin brighter?

Accepted Answer

Avoid tanning: Skin pigmentation is accelerated by uv light.  Avoid the sun when possible and use potent sunblock if you must be in the sun.

Question 10

are there any medications that could reduce melanin in your skin?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: There are bleaching creams available to reduce the skin pigment but they need to be used regularly and are only partly effective.  Chemicals such as phenol can destroy the melanin-producting cells altogether by inducing a chemical burn- however that's probably something you won't want.  I don't know if the late Michael Jackson' dermatologist or plastic surgeon has other tricks in his bag or not.
