RÉSUMÉ

A 25-year-old man had self-injected more than 150 doses of melanotan to increase his skin pigmentation, which had increased significantly. At the same time, his nevi had become darker and new nevi and lentigines developed; they also occurred on his genitals causing his referral. Two nevi were excised, but showed no signs of malignant transformation.
