    Melanotan Issues

    After about 6 days of use I have developed darkened freckles on my face and back. Kind of self conscious about it now. Looking up different medicines to use. Has anyone had this problem and used something to lighten them. Want to try something first before I go get them lasered off!! Sorry if this isn't the right spot for this

    That's part of what melanotan does. It alters the pigment. I don't know if there are any other remedies other than coming off.

    Sounds normal to me. If you read any of the reviews or warnings I think it stats this.

    I can't recall having that issue but I did feel my stomach tanned quicker then legs.

    What were you dosing prior? .5mg is 5x more than I dose MT2....

    Rest assured your reaction was par for the course. As rapid developments occur with your melanin, users almost always spend a few days anxious (within the initial week or so). Please do not resort to laser therapy or further medications as a knee jerk reaction to the changes. The worst is behind you now...best of luck Charles!

    From what I've read 1mg to 1.5mg is an high average dose of just starting mt2. After the freckles starting rapidly appearing I cut back to .5. What do you reccomend the dose be?

    I feel 100mcg is an effective dosage for most skin types. Had the user wish to expedite results, dosing multiple times per day (and of course prior to UV exposure/therapy) is helpful.

    Because there are many who are sensitive to side effects from MT, it's important to dose low initially and gradually escalate your dosage (body rapidly desensitizes to the nausea, energy and appetite sides). Saddens me when reading information on the web about 1mg-1.5mg dosages being acceptable/safe.

    250mcg is a standard dosage and 500mcg is a stout dosage by my definition. Hope it helps!

    So are the dark spots blending into the rest of your color now?

    Not yet. It's only day 7 for me. Tanned once. Face is dark and that seems about it! But the dark spots should start to blend once I get tanned all over. As for the ones on my face, I notice them alot because I'm self conscious about it. I guess they have blended a little

    Don't tan your face. It will get enough natural sun. I just put a towel over mine when in the beds.

    Dude, the first day I pinned was excruciating and embarrassing. I did it before work. Couple hours later all hell broke loose. Had to sit down most of the day lol. It's fine now but definitely is random, have to limit my time around the females at work.

    Def pin mt2 at night. It helps mitigate these 'side effects'. Lmao.

    Same thing happened to me on my first round

    Yeah me also. I'm only using .2cc once in a while now and still get the good sides. Not using it enough to really tan yet but if I use .5 or more I get sick.

    Something I've found with mt2 is I am having trouble sleeping due to the libido increase. I am considering pinning in the morning now, because I have gotten only 3 hours sleep the last two nights due to my mind racing. Definitely noticing some serious color changes so far.
