Recent reports revealed that more and more women are taking help of tan jabs to get tanned looks. Melanotan I and Melanotan II are two types of tan jabs that increase the levels of melanin in our body, resulting in tan.

Doctors said that these injected jabs that produce a tan may be responsible for worrying changes in skin moles.

Two recent cases of women who had injected "Melanotan" shortly before noticing the problem of skin moles highlighted the risk from these tanning jabs.

Officials from British Skin Foundation said that the latest report should "serve as a strong warning" that people should avoid the jabs. People may think that this drug is a safe alternative to sunbeds and sunbathing because it doesn't require UV light.

They may even think it offers sun protection, but the protection offered by a natural tan is minimal, and when it comes to an injectable, unlicensed drug, we have no idea what side effects it may incur. The product hasn't yet undergone the necessary safety tests to be legally sold in this country.
