Prior answer was removed as its incapacity to cite a comparable answer to the relative inquiry at hand.
The dark pigment of the body is called melanin. Melanin is responsible for determining the color of our skin, hair, and eyes. It helps protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun's UV radiation.
The color of your hair is determined by the amount and type of melanin pigment present in the hair follicles. The hair on your body may be blonde due to lower levels of melanin, while the hair on your head is brown because of higher melanin levels. This variation in melanin production can result in different hair colors on different parts of your body.
Melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, can reduce the body's ability to produce vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. This is because melanin acts as a natural sunscreen, absorbing and blocking some of the UVB rays needed for vitamin D synthesis. As a result, individuals with darker skin tones may require more sun exposure to produce adequate levels of vitamin D compared to those with lighter skin tones.

Body hair color is determined by genetics. The presence of a pigment called melanin in hair follicles determines the color of body hair. Blonde body hair is typically the result of lower levels of melanin in the hair follicles.
no it increases melanin
Avoid the sun for about 9 months.

When you tan your body produces melanin so that you dont get different harmful rays in your skin. Although Melanin is harmful itself. Hope it helps

First of all, pigment melanin is the thing that determines our skin colour (the less pigment melanin, the lighter the skin). So if a body stops making pigment melanin it would mean that your skin cannot get any darker.
A person without melanin is called an albino.
In order for the body to protect itself to prevent further damage to your body, it starts to produce melanin. The more melanin in your body, the darker the body becomes and the more your skin is protected.
Melanin is located in your basal cells of the epidermis. Melanin is found in other body locations as well, such as the iris, inner ear, and adrenal gland. Melanin is found in the skin and is a pigment produced by melanocytes. The function of melanin is how light or dark skinned a person is.
I am pretty sure you are thinking of melanin. Melanin gives basically everything on our body colour including our hair, skin, iris etc.
No. Body color is due to the pigment melanin. The more melanin in your skin cells, the darker your skin. Melanin production is also stimulated by exposure to ultraviolet light, which is what causes skin to tan.
