I am darker than how i was when i was much younger and i don't know why, i am unsure if it is genes or nothing cause i am the darkest in my family!!!!

It may be normal : Darkening pigmentation can be part of your genetics. However sometimes we think about other causes of that amd this is something you need to talk to your physician about. With an appropriate evaluation your physician should be able to answer your question better
