A member asked:
Can you tell me how to increase the secretion of melanin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tanning: Melanin is produced in response to ultraviolet light UVA and UVB. So tanning is one way to increase melanin pigmentation, but it can lead to skin cancer. Some hormonal imbalances can cause pigmentary changes.
