    higher melanin concentration resulting in darker pigmentation

    Dark skin, also known as dark complexion or deep skin tone, refers to a higher concentration of melanin in the skin, which provides a darker pigmentation. This increased melanin offers greater protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, reducing the risk of sunburn and certain types of skin cancer. However, individuals with dark skin may be more prone to hyperpigmentation and certain dermatological conditions like keloids.
