Ok when I was first born I was very light, my mom said that the doctors asked whether my dad was white (he's actually black) and I've seen pictures, I was really light. And then within 2 months I was dark skinned like both of my parents. Now I'm middle toned (like caramel) and I'm 15.
WTF is going on?
I'm asking this here because no one else has given me good answers

It is a fact that it takes the melanin in the skin a bit of time to develop in the case of newborns, particularly those of colour. It is not at all unusual.

Well I guess that happens; my mother said when I was born I was so black I was blue lol but now it's like I keep getting lighter in the face; my mother is light skin and my dad is kind of dark

It was because you were not getting any sun rays outside like getting a tan but when you are a baby you absorb more instead like when your older and you get a tan and turn light again you stay really close to that color.

As you grow older your skin tones change. There is also the effect that your environment plays every day. If you want an example, look at an older man or woman who dye their hair. The skin tones don't match the dye job, but would match their natural coloring.

That happened to me too. I think it's just because when we're first born we haven't been exposed to enough sun, or we need some time to produce more melanin.

Have you not been in the sunlight as much lately? It could also have to do with something internally, you may be lacking something.... Caramel is a nice skin color.. I'd be happy if I were you! =)

when you were a baby you were light because you hadn't been exposed to the sun much. But as they started taking you out more, your skin darkened.

when you were inside your mother, you had no access to the sun. that`s why you looked pale. when you came out of your mother you melanin glans start to work on your color. that is what makes your color.
