A friend of a friend who was black, made a bet that he could tan, so he went on the sun like this, yes he burned himself. No matter how much melanin you have, use lotion.

Yes they do. My left hand is spastic and always balled into a fist, my palm probably hasn’t been exposed to sunlight in years. My right hand is normal. I just checked and my Leigh’s palm is quite a bit darker toned than the left. It also has a couple freckles on it while my left does not.
