The skin pigment of humans varies widely in range from the deepest brown tones to the whitest hues possible. The colour of a human skin is the result of several genes, being inherited by the parent's DNA from both of their biological parents, and being influenced by sun exposure. In general, there are four different skin colors that are considered normal. Humans who have a recessive gene or two may also have a darker skin than one with the desired skin tone.
When your skin's pigmentation changes, you might find yourself losing hair, becoming older, having trouble sleeping, or experiencing other physical changes that can affect the colour of your skin. The reason for such changes can be due to a variety of things, including hereditary causes, illness, stress, and even diet. It can be especially harmful to a person's health when their skin is discoloured due to skin diseases or cancer treatments. However, the colour of our skin can affect the way we look and feel. It is important to keep in mind that the colour of your skin does not necessarily affect the way other people view you and will not negatively affect your ability to get a job, do well in school, or date.

Once you know what skin you have, you will be able to make an informed decision about the treatments that are best suited to your specific condition. Skin colour and the pigments that it contains are extremely important and need to be taken into consideration when considering the treatment options available for your skin.
