Scared and worried, lots of dark freckles (pics)

[wepo1]

Hello,

I am a type 2-3 skin with dark freckles and mild acne scarring.

I hoped that melanotan 2 would help even out my complextion with a nice tan.

However, I am 10 days in and extremely worried....

I have been using 125-200 mcg almost every day and NOT TANNING AT ALL! WEARING SUNSCREEN AT ALL TIMES!

I have developed like 20 dark freckles on both sides of my face, it is really worrying me! I have not even tanned yet and my complexion looks much worse than it did previously...

I am scared and look like I have aged from all these freckles and the wierd looking complextion I now have.

I would love some advice. PLEASE HELP!

To me it looked like those freckles were there before, just lighter. A lot of my freckles were light and really faint once I started dosing I saw them getting darker. And for only 10 days your skin has a bit of color difference already. If the freckles really bother you there is laser removal. Although that can be pricey.

Welcome wepo1, hopeful we are able to shed light & help during your melanotan experience (making it the best possible) - appreciate the photos, very helpful!
A week-2 weeks can be awfully scary (/high-anxiety) times for 1st-time MT-2 users, rest assured that your complexion will improve. Continue to be observant of your surrounding UVR environment & apply SPF products often - skin type 2-3 users will benefit from low dosages...making sunless tanning a reality - with continued therapy, hopeful the thin skin prone to...or having history w/ acne will change for the positive - if the beauty-marks developing are truly concerning, phasing out the melanotan II (possibly for a slower, more subtle product such as MT-1) is advised

Ok...about 7MG and I have tanned twice.

I am only injecting .125mcg -200mcg 30 min prior to tanning to avoid developing moles/freckles.

Tanning 25 min on each side in the sun.

I have developed hardly any color and my moles have darkened on the face and I have gained new ones. About 15-20 moles have appeared total on my face.

I am unsure of how to proceed, I am dosing so mildly , not getting color, and gaining moles..Should I quit or is this a part of the process?

Approaching the 3rd week your sentiments sound par for the course (given your challenging skin type, please continue to be safe & listen to your body) - In your shoes, I may be inclined to give the product 1 more week (until the end of that 10mg mt-2 vial)
Hopeful (/guessing) you're your own harshest critic - any new photographs show further change by chance? Ty wepo1

I think your color looks like an upgrade - can semi feel/relate to your pain
When I was 18 I looked 25 - when 30, fortunately age looks >30* (hang in there - men age easier than our counter)
It's been a dramatic month w/ lots of exposure - hopeful still your skin will feel thicker and more protected from elements for weeks/months to come
Flip side, your health and feelings are #1 - quitting may offer the perspective necessary
