Hi everyone,  
 
I post my history:
 
32 Years old. I am skin type 2, I can get a Tan with sun exposure and using sun screen , or short time under the sun without protection. The tan I can get is a decent color for me, I also eat lot of tomatoes and carrot juices on my diet wich also protects and enhance the tan, I also take some Polypodium Leucotomos extrac pills, to reduce sun damage. I have some sun damage from former sun exposures, basically some freckles on my soulders, and few moles all over my body .
 
I hardly burn my legs, I usually never use SPF on my legs and mainly never burns, just once or twice in my hole life. shoulders and face can burn but it is not easy for me to get burned.
 
I visited the dermatologist on June and he doesn´t found any problem on my skin, I talked him about Melanotan but, he didn´t have heard about it before, he just tell me the best`protection was the prevention, ( ignorance....) he just tell me to take some beta carotheno pills one month before sun exposure.
 
Family history: My father (58 years old), is fighting agains a Melanoma Cancer with Interferon Alpha 2B, he has never stay under the sun with tanning purposes so, he has never used sunscreen or similar but becouse he has not spend time under the sun, but here in Spain during Spring or summer is difficult to stay away of the sun  , I hoppe he will be clear of Melanoma forever or at least until one solution will be found, this is the principal reason for me to give a try to melanotan-1, to avoid Melanoma.
 
 
 
I have  taken some sun during weekends lats month not very much  just enought  to quit my white bright, I will post pictures of before this sun exposure ( May Pictures)
 
LOG:
 
1st. Day : 0,25 mg just to see if any anaphilactic reaction occurs. Everything OK, cero sides
 
2nd Day: 0.35 mg. in the evening . I took morning sun without sun protection 20 minutes aprox. and 2 hours at the pool during the afternoon with SPF 8. No burning no sides no nothing.
 
3rd Day : 0,45 mg in the evening :  I took around  30-45 min.  sun without protection during a BBQ. I just get very slight burn, as slight than next morning it has dissapear. Sides: Slight head pressure, and very slight nausea, but really very slight I don really know if it is due to tha Amoxicilina that I am also taking for a small Bronquitis I have
 
 
 
I plan to do 0,5 mg a day with sun exposure during the weekends, and high sun exposure during the middle of augoust, when I will be aprox 10 mg. in my body. Just let you know that I am also taking 1mg Finasteride a day and actually Amoxicilina for the next days.
 
 
 
My Girlfriend is nurse so I dont really have problems with the injections. melanotan-1 50 mg. is from USlabresearch and it is, or at least it seems as american  
 
 
 
One question is that during the last inyection it itches  a bit, why is it caused?
 
 
 
Thanks a lot I will keep you informed.
 

Day 4 : 0,30 No sides . I did my first inyection it is so easy it doesnt hurt except when I puss the liquid inside. The few sides I had was anxiety due to my self inyection
Day 5:  0,40 No sides at the moment. My second inyection easy small hurt, everything ok

Day 8th: No inyection
Day 9th: No inyection
 
During Days 6 and 7 I forgot to put that I had Facil Flushing, and during the end of day 7 I had really bad head pressure, I think it was not due to Melanotan, but I have stop the inyecions during the weekend also becouse I started to develop some freckles, so Should I put the dossage to 0,25 to avoid Freckles???
 
I spent yesterday at the pool3 hours with spf 15 no burning, no tan, nothing important to tell

Day 11th no inyection today
Day 12th 0,40 mg . No sides
Day 13th 0,35 mg . No sides
Day 14th No inyection  
 
During day 13th I sent like 2 hours at the beach with spf 15 no burning, nothing.
During day 14th, today  I spent one an a half hour at the beach, I lower the protection to spf 12 to see if I catch something, and yes I have catch some colour and people is telling that I have some colour, lets see what happens I have still 14 days remaining at the beach.
 
I have not inyection today becouse I think tha tthe body or the hormonal system  can stress with all this inyections dayli so I have decide that afeter some inyections I will take one day off each week aprox.

Day 30. 0,25 . Today 25/08/2008
I have been using  very low doses never more than 0,45 and usually 0,35 and as you see not every days.
 
I have get a very good tan better than before in my life, I can tan usually but not as much as now, and I inform you that picture doesn´t make justice to me, i seem much darker than in the after picture , it fits perfectly to me, it doesn´t seems unnatural or artificial,  
 
I started using spf 20, nex day spf 15, next day spf 12, spf 6 , no visible signs of burning and I have really spend more than 4 hours at the sun of the south of Spain each day.  
 
I have aprox only 6 mg. in my body, I have been near to no burns, and if I burned it didn´t last more than 12 hours.
 
I think that this is the most amazing of melanotan-1, not the tan but the property to avoid burn.  
    

Indeed, excellent results. Great color, this is probably how dark I want to get. Looks perfectly natural. The scars seem to blend in very nice too and are actually less obvious when tanned.

Sirluck

I quit from using melanotan-1 untill next spring; I would like to clean my skin of freckles  and or moles,  not new one, becouse I haven´t get no new moles for melanotan-1 usage, just for the former ones.
First I have tried the scratch method, fisrt day scratch the mole for a while without hurting, second or third day the mole  fall down, I help to clean the area with a scourer in the shower, and it eliminates any possible rest of the mole.  
For the freckles I am gonna try the lemmon juice method and see results.
Any suggestion?

i cant see whats wrong with freckles IF you have the tan..... daniel craig has small freckles over his back in casino royal....

Yes it is true when the skin undergoes pigmentation changes (ie: tanning) anything that's going to cause a scar to form is to be avoided as best as possible. This is discussed in the WARNINGS / FAQ Section / New Peptide Users Read! thread.
