Hi there dear people :) . I was looking at some of my old photos when i was a toddler. I noticed many strange things about my hair color. When i was 1-3 years old i had red hair then it started to get a copper -ish color at age 5 it became much more darker. I also had many brown dots in my face(what are they called in english?) when i was younger but now they reduced quite a lot.
Right now my hair is light brown color and my skin is slightly darker but not olive skinned.
and each time i get a sunburn, when healing it leaves brown or black mole-like thing that never goes away(i am scared of developing skin cancer i stay away from tanning)


Do you guys have any idea why this has happened? Is this normal in babies and toddlers or was i meant to have red hair and some type of mutaion occurred. :)


Have a nice day and Happy Easter everyone ^-^
 
No idea, bud. There are many genes responsible for skin colour or how it reacts to sun. Perhaps someone had similar experience and can share.
Don't forget to take vitamin D3 supplements now when you are trying to stay away from sun exposure.
 
Thanks . I been doing that for a long time.
 
Hair color has a tendency to change color due to hormones (pregnant women will sometimes find themselves sporting darker hair afterward I believe) & outside factors such as lack of sunlight. So it isn't necessarily a genetic mutation. Same as how some people will notice their eyes changing color with age. Do you have any relatives with the same hair color?

Black/brown things? Do you happenchance mean freckles? Depending on your ancestry and/or skin tone that's not uncommon to certain groups, such as Irish who get freckles.


If you are truly concerned about skin cancer go & see a dermatologist or a similar specialist.
