Default Melanin

HI Dr Nase,

I read the following about Melanin - "Sunburn is caused when the body cannot make enough melanin, a skin pigment, to protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) light. Melanin is an amazingly powerful antioxidant that absorbs the ultraviolet light."

My biggest triggers are afticial lights (fluorescent lights, computer screens, etc) and am wondering if possibly my skin is not making enough Melanin.

Your thoughts?
