"Persons white like me tend to have MORE melanocytes than do black persons"Your dermatologist must have been drunk.From your quote "I've never heard of anyone in my entire life interested in buying melanin. I personally wouldn't know what to do with it except sell it." And when was the last time a black person sold some of their melanin? Never? Oh, ok.Who said Black people sell their bodies for melanin? I just said my body is worth more than yours because you lack melanin and the ability to produce it.
Btw, white people can produce melanin, look it up, you'll learn something.
I am a melanin producing white person-----my dermatologist
told me that when my skin is INJURED---either by sun or trauma my MELANOCYTES are stimulated. For the record---
everyone has MELANOCYTES in their skin---derived from the
NEURALCREST of the original neural tube of the embryo. Persons white like me tend to have MORE melanocytes than do black persons like butterfly![]()
how many melanocytes have you examined by microscopy.?
Ever seen an actual embryonic NEURAL crest in cross section?
Obviously your dermatologist was either drunk or you were drunk and he was pulling your leg. Do you know what melanocytes are? They are what produce the melanin in your skin. So basically youre claiming that your freckles (which are spotty) are more abundant than someone that has them concentrated all over their body. Thats like saying an umbrella with billions of 1 inch holes poked in keeps out more rain than a perfectly functioning umbrella.
sorry to bust your bubble. Of course I know what a melanocyte is----I A'ced Histology and Embyology.
ALL HUMANS have melanocytes-------the darker skins
of "humans" like you is not based on more melanocytes---
it is based on greater production of Melanin per capita melanocyte. ---------it is a little factoid that you NEED NOT
KNOW--------a very little factoid
