If I have successfully bleached my skin white & it's been that way for years, will my children come out light skinned has well?

Question

I'm more on the light caramel complexion , so I'm not dark at all to began with , but what if I bleached my skin , permantetly &' I've have that "white" skin for years now , is it possible if I get with a man that's light skin has well that NONE of my kids is going to come out like my original skin color ? Will the chemicals in the bleached skin process have any effect on my genes when I have kids ? I know it's a silly question but I was just curious .

Skin bleaching is a cosmetic procedure that changes the appearance of your skin but does not affect your genetic makeup. Your genes, which determine traits like skin color, are not altered by skin bleaching. Therefore, the skin color of your children will depend on the genetic traits inherited from both you and your partner, not on any cosmetic changes you have made to your skin.

If you have further questions or concerns about skin bleaching or genetic inheritance, it would be beneficial to consult with a dermatologist or a genetic counselor. They can provide more detailed and personalized information.
