Nowadays, many mothers have had this experience: they find that their children’s skin is getting darker and darker. This has caused trouble for many mothers. They think this is a precursor to some kind of disease, and therefore they worry about their children. So is dark skin really good? If not, is he really a precursor to some disease? So today I will talk to you in detail about the reasons why the skin becomes darker? So that mom can put her worries to rest.

In addition to physiological aging, skin darkening is also related to many factors. If we understand these factors and take precautions, we can improve the situation to a certain extent. Many diseases can change the normal skin color and make it darker. The most common ones include endocrine system diseases, chronic wasting diseases, malnutrition diseases, etc.

In addition, skin melanosis may also occur in patients with acromegaly, hyperthyroidism, hemochromatosis, chronic infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, kala-azar, dermatomyositis, renal failure, cancer and other diseases. There is another type of skin disease, especially skin diseases caused by certain allergic foods, such as raw onions, raw garlic, peppers, peppers, leeks, wine, fish, shrimp, kelp, chicken, duck, pig's trotters, pig's head and other foods, commonly known as "irritants", can also induce skin allergies, resulting in rashes and finally leaving pigments to make the skin darker.

Many drugs can change the normal skin color, among which drugs for treating malaria are the most harmful. Generally, after three or four months of use, the skin pigmentation of 25% of the patients can become darker. For example, atapixaban can cause the skin to turn orange; chloroquine has a strong affinity for melanin and can aggravate the darkening of the skin; about 10% of patients taking quinine develop blue pigment spots on their faces.

Others, such as anti-leprosy drugs, may cause the skin to turn dark gray, and the anti-epileptic drug phenytoin sodium may induce chloasma, which is particularly harmful to women.

Certain foods are also the cause of darkening of the skin, and foods rich in metal elements such as copper, iron, and zinc have this disadvantage. This is because these metal elements can directly or indirectly increase the amount and activity of substances such as tyrosine, tyrosinase and dopaquinone that are related to melanin production. Please remember that these foods include animal liver, animal kidney, oysters, shrimp, crab, beans, walnuts, black sesame, raisins, etc. Women who love beauty should eat them with caution.

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can stimulate the melanin in the skin, induce the appearance of skin lesions such as freckles, and affect beauty. Therefore, beauty experts call the sun the biggest enemy of the skin and emphasize that women should be especially careful.

Scrubbing Many people like to rub their skin vigorously when taking a bath, in the intention to wash it cleaner. Little do people know that using too much force or rubbing repeatedly can easily cause the skin to darken, the so-called "friction melanosis".

Through the examples given in the above article, it is not difficult to imagine that the darkening of children’s skin is not a precursor to a certain disease, but is only caused by our daily living habits. We do not need to worry too much about it. Therefore, when facing a certain disease, the first thing we should think of is to think calmly and use scientific methods to check. Only in this way can we avoid many unnecessary diseases. If the article is useful to your friends, please share it with your friends. Thank you!
