A member asked:
Theoretically, if one was to use an oral melanin inhibitor (that really worked) to lighten skin wouldn't that affect the hair and eyes as well? specifically a tyrosinase inhibitor.

Lots of Problems!: Theoretically, yes. The problem is that an oral tyrosinase inhibitor would also act on cells in the brain, causing dopamine dysregulation and all kinds of serious problems! Topical tyrosinase inhibitors only act on a local area and are not deeply absorbed therefore avoiding the systemic problems.

I keep getting head aches that start around either eye, usually my left but now starting at my right. The pain is usually one sided and very strong. Today I have taken Tylenol and ibuprofen in rotation as well as napping to try to kick the head ache and nothing. I am unsure why I get these and they seem to be getting more frequent. Head aches?
