Q: My son is 3 years old. He has wheatish complexion. I want to improve the colour of his skin. How can I do that?
A:The colour of the skin is usually constitutional which we get one week after the birth. It cannot be changed or modified. By avoiding the sun, we just prevent tanning of the skin. Thus, weather may modify your skin colour to some extent.
