How does melanin get into the skin?
melanocytes are found in the most superficial layer of skin and are full of melanin giving pigmentation
keratinocytes absorb surrounding melanocytes as they rise up from the basal layer to the surface
melanocytes form in the basal membrane and as they ascend to the surface they change into keratinocytes while maintaining the original amount of melanin they produced
melanocytes in the basal layer produce melanin and inject it into surrounding keratinocytes via the dendrites
