High-frequency invisible UV light affects the melanin in everyone's skin. People of color are affected differently than fair skinned people but it's the skin that changes.

its not the rays... it a cell in your skin called melaton ... this cell does not reproduce in scars thats why they do not tan like the rest of your skin
