My question is regarding my son's skin colour (complexion). I am his mother. He is 16 years old. He has tanned brownish skin. His arms, legs and cheeks are especially darker probably because they are exposed though I forcibly make him wear full pants and no sleeveless t-shirts. I have also applied sunscreen on him. Still it didn't work. It was the sport's day when he had to wear sleeveless t-shirts and shorts. When he fell, it looked awful to see his brown legs mixed with the dust. When his fair friend picked him by his arm, it appeared a good contrast of their complexions. Moreover, he was the darkest boy out there in the race. Every day he comes from school, he has one shade at least darker by suntan. Last time when I had beaten him up, I slapped his cheeks to find alternate red and brown marks left. I am much fairer than him. A month ago, I was advised to give him glutathione injection, so I told him about it. The previous day, he denied his dark tanned skin and that made me furious. There were other reasons too. I had beaten him up so that he cried. He was wearing only an underwear. I took out my wooden stick and started beating him mercilessly. He screamed in pain. I kicked his legs and arms and slapped his cheeks several times till my fingerprints became prominent. I beat him with the stick so hard that it broke away. Some marks were seen on his back. Then I calmed down when he finally agreed. How ever, the next day just an hour before getting dressed up, he refused to go. I got extremely angry. He had to face another terrible beating from me. He was wearing the underwear. I smacked him and he fell. He shouted. I beat him by his legs and kicked him. I threw him on the ground and I noticed his complexion structure. He was in the underwear so it was easy. He lied flat on the ground. His buttons and anal region was so dark almost black. I even took a photo of him in that position for showing it to the doctor. Even wearing the underwear, that area was visibly much darker. The extension was so much that even the back of his thighs became dark chocolaty brown. I finally told him to agree patiently but he didn't. He refused to wear even the dress. After giving him few low painful burns after which he cried out, he still didn't agree. I caught him by his arm and made him wear just a sleeveless t-shirt and went to the doctor. He was just in a sleeveless t-shirt and underwear. The doctor was surprised but gave him the injection. After that at home he shouted at me for giving him the injection. I had to beat him very hard till he kept quiet. He somersaulted by my beatings. I locked him up in the bathroom. When later I opened it, I saw him sitting on the bathroom pan with his legs and arms folded. Oh how tanned he looked also he still shouted. After giving him burns with boiling water he pacified. After that, almost every day he received beatings from me for some reason. Please suggest a method for making his complexion fair.
