Ethnic Variation in Melanin Content and Composition in Photoexposed and Photoprotected Human Skin

5 Mar 2002

Abstract excerpt

We have examined the quantity and composition of melanin in both photoprotected (volar upper arm) and chronically photoexposed (dorsal forearm) skin from a range of different ethnic skin types including African, Indian, Mexican, Chinese and European. The most lightly pigmented (European, Chinese and Mexican) skin types have approximately half as much epidermal melanin as the most darkly pigmented (African and...
