It means you have a skin fungus.\nA black light is the way some dermatologists check to see if a skin condition is fungus.\nI am surprised these areas have not bothered you.\nI would get to a dermatologist right away and bring the black light with you to show him in case he does not have one.\nMany dermatologists have black lights to see if a condition is actaully fungus but not all.\nBut hey should all know about the blacklight beieng the test for fungus on the skin.

Sleep and lots of it. Our body needs to regenerate itself for the loss of energy. Studies shown that with proper rest, one can have healthier, glowing skin.\nAs for the second part of your question, it could be stress related. Learn to manage it by organizing your time & managing it better, allow yourself space to breathe.\nSeek help from a dermatologist if condition worsens. Keep face clean and dry. Avoid contact with dirty fingernails. Drink plenty of water.\nWe face worry no matter what the age. It's a fact of life. There're no shortcuts about it but to face it head on. Weigh your problems equally & learn to prioritise your "to-do list."\nHope this helped.

Static charge is deposited on the surface of the CRT during the operation of the TV. So your tester glows because of the electrostatic potential existing between your hand and the surface of the CRT. \n\nThe voltage, and the current resulting through our body when we touch it are too weak to cause us any harm. All the same, you do notice your hair standing on end don't you?

more than likely it is a fungus.  I had white spots start at the back of my neck and spread out.  Upon goin to the doctor, it was discovered that there was a fungus growing on my skin and blocking UV rays of the sun, therefore, causing the skin underneath the fungus to appear to stay white.  After that, I applied an "salve" I suppose killed the fungus, and it never happened again.  I was 16 or 17 at the time.\nNow if your dark skinned by nature, I really have no idea if this is the same thing.  I myself am a pale skinned person.

'Spectral' indicating some kind of control based on light emission?  Where will the light energy come from? (It's dark inside people).\n\nThere are already delivery systems based on dissolution, is that what you mean?

You have seasonal affective disorder. (SAD).  There are lamps you can buy that simulate sunlight that are said to work quite well.

Sounds like a 'blackhead' but under the skin, gets a little infected and swells up.\n\nNo matter how clean you are, that is a place that gets sweaty.\n\nPop them and clean them.\n\nIf it falls off, see a doc.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than soft X-rays\nThe conventional black light(UV Rays are called Black light) design is just a fluorescent lamp with a couple of important modifications. Fluorescent lamps generate light by passing electricity through a tube filled with inert gas and a small amount of mercury. \nThe first thing most people notice when you switch on a black light is that some of their clothing glows. This is because most laundry detergents contain phosphors to make whites appear brighter in sunlight. Sunlight contains UV light that makes the whites glow "brighter than white." Dark clothes don't glow because the dark pigments absorb the UV light.\nThere are a lot of everyday materials that fluoresce, or glow, when placed under a black light. A black light gives off highly energetic ultraviolet light. You can't see this part of the spectrum, which is how 'black lights' got their name. Fluorescent substances absorb the ultraviolet light and then re-emit it almost instantaneously. Some energy gets lost in the process, so the emitted light has a longer wavelength than the absorbed radiation, which makes this light visible and causes the material to appear to 'glow'. \nFluorescent molecules tend to have rigid structures and delocalized electrons. Examples of common materials that contain fluorescent molecules include: \n\nWhite paper is treated with fluorescent compounds to help it appear brighter and therefore whiter. \n\n some other things to glow under UV light are\nClub Soda or Tonic Water\nThe bitter flavoring of tonic water is due to the presence of quinine, which glows blue-white when placed under a black light. \n\nBody Fluids\nMany body fluids contain fluorescent molecules. Forensic scientists use ultraviolet lights at crime scenes to find blood, urine, or semen (all fluorescent).\n\nVitamins\nVitamin A and the B vitamins thiamine, niacin, and riboflavin are strongly fluorescent. Try crushing a vitamin B-12 tablet and dissolving it in vinegar. The solution will glow bright yellow under under a black light.\n\nChlorophyll\nChlorophyll makes plants green, but it fluoresces a blood red color. Grind some spinach or swiss chard in a small amount of alcohol (e.g., vodka or everclear) and pour it through a coffee filter to get chlorophyll extract (you keep the part that stays on the filter, not the liquid). You can see the red glow using a black light or even a strong fluorescent bulb, such as an overhead projector lamp, which (you guessed it) gives off ultraviolet light.\n\nAntifreeze\nManufacturers purposedly include fluorescent additives in antifreeze fluid so that black lights can be used to find antifreeze splashes to help invesitagors reconstruct automobile accident scenes.\n\nLaundry Detergents\nSome of the whiteners in detergent work by making your clothing a bit fluorescent. Even though clothing is rinsed after washing, residues on white clothing cause it to glow bluish-white under a black light. Blueing agents and softening agents often contain fluorescent dyes, too. The presence of these molecules sometimes causes white clothing to appear blue in photographs.\n\nTooth Whiteners\nWhiteners and some enamels contain compounds that glow blue to keep teeth from appearing yellow.\n\nPostage Stamps\nStamps are printed with inks that contain fluorescent dyes.\n\nJellyfish\nIf you have a jellyfish handy, see what it looks like under a black light in a darkened room. Some of the proteins within a jellyfish are intensely fluorescent.\n\nSome Minerals and Gems\nFluorescent rocks include fluorite, calcite, gypsum, ruby, talc, opal, agate, quartz, and amber. Minerals and gemstones are most commonly made fluorescent or phosphorescent due to the presence of impurities. The Hope Diamond, which is blue, phosphoresces red for several seconds after exposure to shortwave ultraviolet light.

Blacklight is UV or Ultaviolet radiation, it is UVB (315–280 nm). Its at the higher end of the spectrum.

because of the distance and variations of the surface temperature of the sun, plus the infrared spectrum within the sun, sun spots appear darker.Photvoltiac activity is contained within or under the suns surface, thereby hidden from our view, but detected via spectrum analyzers

Try a product from AVON called banishing cream. It lightens dark areas on the skin.

It could possibly mean that you have a yeast infection. The skin could be itrritated form the yeast. If yuor experiencing itching and burning also then it could also be a yeast infection, you never know until you go to the doctor, so go get check out ASAP.

Its a hormonal thing usually associated with pregnancy.  You can buy over-the-counter creams which are designed to lighten those spots, and I used one when I was pregnant.  The creams are very expensive, but it did help over time.  Go for one from a well know cosmetic house because at least then you will know a lot of research has gone into the product and it will be unlikely to burn your skin.

It could be a form of migraine starting.  The best thing would be to check with a doctor.  For some people, certain types of lighting brings on a migraine.

Its refering to sunlight. Only sunlight goes low or dim (We were afraid that the light was too low)

It's probably just a thickening of the skin.  It just happens.  I had the same thing, and I went to a specialist.  They took some scrapings and said it was basically nothing.
