Melanotan: New Injected Tanning Craze

There’s a new way for tan-crazy teens to bronze their skin, and it comes in a needle.

Melanotan is an injected tanning supplement now sold online that promises to help tan the skin, as well as boost the libido. The substance is banned in Australia and not widely available in America, but available for online purchase.

Doctors say that while the supplement stimulates pigment cells, it could also stimulate the same cells responsible for skin cancer.
