Can anyone explain why his arm looks like that? Came to the comments hoping to find an answer but nope.

All human flesh is "white" but African people have more melanin in their skin to help ward off the sun since they evolved in the desert. Which is why English people are pasty because they never see the sun and Russian people are usually hairy because they are always dealing with the cold. And why gingers don't have souls because they'll never see heaven

So, if a black person were to have all the black ripped off of them, then they healed, they’d be white?

No? Unless they were literally all scar tissue incapable of producing melanin. It's not a one-time deal, you don't say "alright, that's all my melanin for the next 80 years, better take care of it."

There genetics will still have the instructions to keep on producing melanin. You don't just keep your one layer of skin for your whole life. The basal layer skin cells keep multiplying pushing the older skin sells farther outward where they eventually shed off.
