Ways to increase melanin secretion in body – Dr. Sachith Abraham

The best way to increase the melanin secretion inside the body be exposing to sunlight which increases the tanning effect and increases the amount and concentration of melanin in in the skin. Certain diseases like vitligo or commonly called as lecuoderma, can cause absence of melanocytes or total destruction of melanocytes. In these cases the melanin secretion can be increased or stimulated by a procedure called as phototherapy, where we expose the person’s skin to a specific light called as UVB light and certain creams and topical formulations like steroid creams, tracrolimus creams can also increase the secretion and the production and can cure the lecuoderma or the vitligo patches.
