scarring

anyone else had problems with scars while on melanotan II?

i scratched myself on a rose bush some weeks ago, actually it's probably closer to 6 weeks now, and it was just a scratch, a deep scratch though and it scabbed over.

now i've got this 8cm long scar on my arm, it's a very dark "tanned" color, very distinct, almost like a dark brown tattoo i've had done.

just wondering if it will be permanent or if it will fade away when i stop taking melanotan II?

I suspect that whatever is the case with ordinary tanning relative to scarring will apply to tanning using one of the peptides. -Scott

Well I did some more research and came up with a pretty strong authority talking about scars and tanning.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health

The article talks about "scar revision" and has this specific line:

Quote:

Avoid exposure to the sun for several months after treatment (for scar revision). Use sunblock or a dressing (such as a Band-Aid) to keep the sun from permanently tanning the healing scar.

Sorry to report that.

thanks for all that Scott, alas my research has turned up the same results!

i think as the melanotan II enhances my skins tanning properties it's also enhanced the effects of the uv on the scarred tissue, (especially seeing i was in the middle of my loading phase at the time) mental note that if i ever get scratched or cut again to keep it covered up until it's completely healed!

I'm also noticing that basically any type of mark I get (cut, scratch, etc) seems to never go away, and is definately darker.
