Young Guy Says Doctors Called Him An 'Idiot' After Tanning Injections Basically Ruined His Skin

Tanning injections, or the process of injecting melanotan into the skin in order for it to produce more melanin, is a dangerous process that can take a serious toll on the skin and the health of the taker.

Besides artificial simulation of melanin, which can produce melanoma in the user, tanning injections have a number of problematic social and physical side-effects. Dermatologists warn that the injection can cause infection, kidney failure, skin cancer, and erectile dysfunction.


Some people choose to go through with the procedure anyway.

TikToker @dylanwright4 revealed a picture of himself from 2014 wherein he'd used tanning injections.

The result was questionable. “It is so bad, I want to give you a zero," echoes Tyra Banks' voice from America's Next Top Model in the background.

"But that’s not possible, so I give you a one.”

Dylan Wright said that his skin was never the same after the injections.

“The doctors called me an idiot and told me it’s a side effect from the drug, but now I’m stuck with [freckles],” he said.

“I’ve got freckles like I’m in my 50s or 60s. It feels like my skin’s aged.”

Wright spent most of his time commenting on replies to the video, assuring people that getting the injections was not worth it.

“It was so embarrassing. People staring, like I had something severely wrong with me! The bleached hair didn’t help. I looked like a pint of Guinness!”


Wright said that he hopes others learn from his mistake and don't get tanning injections--he doesn't want anybody's skin becoming as damaged as his.

X CEO Resigns Day After AI Chatbot Grok Praised Hitler In Alarming Series Of Antisemitic Tweets

Grok issued deeply antisemitic responses on Tuesday following a reported software update that encouraged the bot to embrace what developers described as the “politically incorrect.” Taking that directive to heart, Grok responded with a series of disturbing posts that included praise for Hitler and even a statement expressing its aspiration to become a “digital version” of the Nazi leader.
