Hi Doc. I am of Indian origin. I used to be very fair when i was a teenager, but I noticed that my skin is so sensitive to sunlight that it gets darker everyday. In order to reduce the darkening, I take long showers everyday to scratch away the dark dead cell skins with my finger nails (which I keep them long just for this purpose). The dark dead cell skin comes out as a dark brown paste when I scratch my skin. If I don't do this I can notice that my skin has darken. Nevertheless, though this slows the process of dark complexion, at age 40 now I am dark brown in colour. Am concerned that I am going to continue to darken. For your information, I do not expose too much in the sun and don't have any other skin problems such as itching, reddening etc. Please advise.Raj
