To steal an answer recently posted by someone else, it simply comes down to the lack of need for dark pigmentation at high latitudes.\n\nAt low laititudes the risk of death or illness from skin cancer is higher than the risk of death from rickets. As a result people who lived at low latitides retained dark pigmentation since that provides portection from skin cancer. \n\nNote that it isn't only Asians that retained this trait.  Southern Europeans are no more or less prone to having dark hair than Asians.\n\nAt higher latitudes the risk from skin cancer declined and the risk of rickets increased. Having pale skin reduced the incidence of rickets, so pale pigmentation evolved through a reduction of eumelanin\n\nOne of the side effects of of low eumelanin levels is that it allows for multiple hair colours as well. With no eumelanin at all hair can be blonde, or it can be red colours that are difficult to achive in skin that  has high levels of eumelanin. With moderate levls hair can be brown, and with normal levels the hair can be black.\n\nPeople with normal eumelanin production can only really have one hair colour: black. That's because eumelanin covers over any other pigments.\n\n\nYou will note that it isn't only Asians who have almost exclusively black hair. It is equally Negroes, San, Aborigines, American Indians, Negritoes and so forth. European were freed up by their pale skin to express a range of skin colours not seen in normal humans.\n_________________\n\nMay said "the alleles are inherited and contained in the >>>>>>>same race."\n\nUtter Bollocks. If you are going to answer a question at least have some idea what you are talking about.\n\nThere is no such thing as a biological race. There are no alleles for black hair that are contained within the Asian race.

Prominence of the eyes is the most important sign. A wild or staring expression is often observed. Lag of the lids behind the globes on downward rotation and lag of the globes behind the lids in upward rotation, infrequent blinking, failure to wrinkle the forehead on looking upward, and decreased ability to converge are also cardinal manifestations. Swelling of the lids is a characteristic and frequent eye sign. The bulbar conjunctiva may be edematous (chemosis). The insertions of the medial and lateral rectus muscles are often enlarged, inflamed, and quite obvious . The lacrimal gland may protrude below the orbital bone margin.\na list would look something like;;;;\nOphthalmic phenomena reflecting thyrotoxicosis per se and apparently resulting from sympathetic overactivity:\nLid reaction\nWide palpebral aperture (Dalrymple's sign)\nLid lag (von Graefe's sign)\nStaring or frightened expression\nInfrequent blinking (Stellwag's sign)\nAbsence of forehead wrinkling on upward gaze (Joffroy's sign)\nOphthalmic phenomena unique for Graves' disease and caused by specific pathologic changes in the orbit and its contents:\nInability to keep the eyeballs converged (Mobius' sign)\nLimitation of movement of the eyeballs, especially upward\nDiplopia\nBlurred vision due to inadequate convergence and accommodation\nSwelling of orbital contents and puffiness of the lids\nChemosis, corneal injection, or ulceration\nIrritation of the eye or pain in the globe\nExophthalmos (also produces mechanically a wide palpebral fissure)\nVisible and palpable enlargement of the lacrimal glands\nVisible swelling of lateral rectus muscles as they insert into the globe, and injection of the overlying vessels\nDecreased visual acuity due to papilledema, retinal edema, \nretinal hemorrhages, or optic nerve damage\n\nwanna know more?

It is an infection of the eyelid that is very common. This is from a Spanish medical dictionary http://www.pediatraldia.cl/orzuelos.htm\n\nIf you had asked the question in English you would have gotten more replies.

The dark skin comes from a compound called Melanin and it is a sort of built in sun screen. Blacks are VERY rarely known to suffer from Skin Cancer but could potentially suffer from Vitaimin D deficiency without direct contact with sunlight in an an area with very little sunlight like black sailors on a submarine, blacks in arctic climates where the days are very short and majority of time is spent indoors because of the climate. Melanin historically has protected the people from damage from the suns rays.

If you mean clear from blemishes, drink at least 2litres water a day and avoid fatty, sugary foods. If you mean your skin is naturally dark, keep out of the sun. Even dark skins fade a few shades in time.Just eat right and moisturise and be happy with what you got.

Brown eyes\n \nBrown eyesThe vast majority of the world's people have dark eyes, ranging from brown to nearly black. Light brown eyes are also present in many people, but to a lesser extent. Most of the original inhabitants of Africa, Asia, and the Americas have brown eyes. Brown eyes are also found in Europe, Oceania and North America, though within European populations they are not predominant to the same extent

Often enough the dark circles come from touching or rubbing your eyes with your fingers too often. If you get enough sleep, but still have dark circles, try no to touch your eyes for a few days, you'll notice the difference.

HPV, and MOST people dont know they have it. You can tell when you do, cause theres a SLIGHTLY noticable dark staining at the OUTSIDE corner of your eyes on your skin itself not the eye itself. It generally goes away on its own, so most never realize they have been exposed.

I'm not a dermatologist... that's really who you should consult... but I can tell you that there is a condition called vitiligo that can cause light patches of skin on people of all colors (not just black people.)   Other things that can cause skin pigmentation changes are lupus (REQUIRES medical attention - type Lupus in your search bar and all kinds of info will come up)  and melasma (non-lethal, I have it, no big deal) but I think both of those usually create dark splotches on the face rather than light spots.  Age & medications could have something to do with it too... if you can't afford to see a doctor, I would ask a pharmacist - they might recognize it right off and direct you to something over the counter.  Good luck!

Chinese medicine says that dark circles under your eyes are a sign of an internal problem, not just a skin problem. If they are dark that indicates toxic blood and the kidneys weakness in filtering your blood. If they are swollen that indicates sluggish filtration of your kidneys.\n\nThis can lead to a variety of health problems such as water retention, scanty urine, swollen ankles, fingers and toes and possibly urinary infection. \nThere are several solutions you can use. \nThe are in my source you should check them out.\n\nhttp://www.jtfit.com/bags-eyes/

Because of the hormone that makes your skin light or dark.  The more melatonin you have the darker the skin.  If you have light skin you should use a sunscreen or stay out of the sun.  Or in about 20 years you'll look like a prune.

ok is it hyperpigmentation(darkening) or hypopigmentation(whitening) you havent mentioned?? i presume it to be hyper cos u very well know bout MELATONIN ...yes that is the pigment present in skin... the pattern involving nose then spreading to cheeks is rather disturbing specially if you r a female and i recommend that u show to a good dermatologist or medicine doctor it might be SLE but u better confirm first before gettin trippy.... HQ-5 lotion by Debut Pharmaceuticals helps but u must first show to a dermatologist....
