Skin darkening...

I use to be very fair when i was younger, and now I am A LOT darker! My skin started getting darker probably once I hit around the age 7? I am 16 now, 5'6 and about 160, I think it could be because of my overweight, but my mom doesn't think so? What do you think?

Hi there!

Overweight alone is unlikely to cause skin darkening unless it is associated with hormonal/ endocrine imbalances or metabolic issues. Also stress is an important cause of hyperpigmentation. An evaluation may be worth considering especially in the situation of an uneven skin tone. You may consider seeing an internist for the same.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
