My daughter eventually loses her tan, but as soon as she is out in the sun again a few times she is beautifully tanned and it takes a l-o-n-g time for it to fade. Is she just lucky to have such a pretty complexion - or would her skin be holding on to the color longer because of the CAH. I might add that she lost a few lbs, etc last summer and we were so pleased because weight has always been a problem,but when we had the test done at the end of October her levels were up and we had to increase her meds.
