Hi Doctor,Lately, I've noticed that my skin color is getting darker. I used to have fair skin, but it's changing, and I can't figure out why. I follow a good diet, spend most of my time indoors (so sunburn isnt the issue), and Ive recently started drinking around 6 glasses of water a day (used to drink less). I also eat warm foods a lot. What could be causing this?

You may be experiencing skin darkening due to various factors. One possible reason could be increased melanin production in response to sun exposure, even if you are indoors most of the time. Another reason could be hormonal changes or certain medications that can cause skin darkening. To address this issue, you can try using a topical cream containing hydroquinone or kojic acid to lighten the skin. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin C supplements or using Vitamin C serums to help brighten your skin. Make sure to continue staying hydrated and maintaining a healthy diet. If the issue persists, I recommend consulting a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
