A man claims that he injects himself with an unregulated synthetic hormone or otherwise illegal drug to make his skin super dark.According to Daily Mail, the man shared his story with photos showing his transformation from pale-skinned to dark-skinned male on popular social network Reddit.
Reddit user n3glv who earlier had pale, fair skin accompanied by bright blue eyes claims the drug Melanotan-II, a drug that increases levels of the pigment melanin in the skin, is the blame for his tanned look.
- The drug has never been approved by government agencies and has not made it out of clinical trials.
According to n3glv, there are several side effects that come with using the drug:
- – ‘decreased appetite (very mild nausea more for some, none for me);
- – increased Libido (Didn’t see that one much either);
- – some get a facial flushing like a Niacin dose (never got that either);
- – the most strange thing is that it feels really good to stretch, like when you first wake up (I get that every time I dose, about 1hr 30 after injection).
The Reddit user claims he injects himself with Melanotan-II ‘for the skin coloring’.
“I’m pretty much impervious to UV at this point. I have faded about 25% since returning from Florida Jan 31. Will be dosing again, probably in March,” he wrote.Some people have questioned the validity of the snaps, as his eyes have sligthly different color in the first photo compared to the after look. However, he clarifies this. “Need to understand that my private server was compromised and that was a SHOPPED photo a lady did for me. Note in every other pic I have blue eyes,” he wrote.
“I had given a pic to a lady on a forum and SHE edited it and sent it back. The spiders etc found it and chose that one for their post. I had no knowledge of any of the reddit posts till friends called me and then vps crashed. It made to #6 or 4 iirc,” he added.
And finally, he said that the color fades over time like a regular tan, BUT that ‘the darker I get the happier I am’.
