Has anyone with scars at least 10 months old stopped using melanotan ?  
Is the pigmentation of scars permanent or do they fade like the surrounding skin ?  
Scar tissue has much slower metabolism than normal tissue.

People are warned against tanning with fresh scars, lest they become permanently pigmented.
I, too, was warned, and I seem to have some uneven permanent pigmentation, possibly because I did not completely heed this warning, I tanned once, 4 months after the trauma.
 
With Melanotan things seem to be different than with natural MSH though.
I really would like some feedback from users with scars.

I did not get darkening of any existing scar tissue.  However, even some very light surface abrasions I got while on melanotan II did come up dark and have stayed so.  I will attach a picture here to show, as an example, of when bike riding one time in the mountains, I feel down a ravine.  The fall did not do much to me but the spokes of the chain gear did ride along my leg and leave some very small little punctures, perfectly spaced.  These were extremely minor and healed in less then a week but, well, you can see from the picture, I now have these brown dots down my leg.
On the other hand, from that same fall, I had much more serious cuts on my forearm that took nearly a month to totally heal and, well, nothing, no scar, no color change, nothing.
I have a pretty significant scar on my right wrist from surgery about 1 year before I started melanotan II.  It has not changed at all, in fact, if anything, it may be a bit lighter then the surround skin.
 
Weird Science!!!!

maybe to fade these I would need to discontinue melanotan II for a long time, so I think I will shut up and put up!!!  

Something similar took about a year for me to completely fade. I had been doing regular weekly 0.3mg injections. Might take longer for you.

As far as I know it's also happening to some degree if you are naturally tanning. I think the peptide enhances the effect quite a lot though.

Oh wow, a year is a long time although dosing almost daily, maybe would take longer I agree, to reduce or fade the unsightly marks.Quote from Jacques on 11/01/11 at 18:30:52:
