Skin turning very dark
Hi Doctor,
My son is 2 years old. He was very fair from birth but legs were bit black. Until 1 year he was very fair. Post that he starting turning dark. So I changed soap from himalaya to tedibar and lotion to sebamed. Still no use, day by day he is turning dark. Myself and my husband, we both are fair. I am worried whether there is any inter living disease that is affecting skin tone or is it a natural skin tone. Pls suggest me on this.
Thanks

Skin turning dark could be normal phenomenon
Skin colour turns little dark due increase melanin production
Due to sun exposure they can get tanned
Consult doctor for physical examination if dark pigmentation is patchy or extensive

This may not be related to soap use.
Usual reason for darkening of skin is sun exposure and very rarely any disease.
This does not require any treatment.
