    Bruce A. Cohn
    TLDR Melatonin can affect skin color, treat skin conditions, and may help with skin cancer.
    The document discussed the role of melatonin in the skin, tracing its effects from amphibians to humans. It highlighted melatonin's involvement in skin pigmentation, hair growth, and its potential as an antioxidant. The study suggested that melatonin could influence hair growth cycles and might be beneficial in treating conditions like alopecia. However, the research was preliminary, and further studies were needed to confirm these findings and understand the mechanisms involved.
