The drug our body produce more of a natural pigment in our skin called melanin. A pigment is something in our body that our skin. Plants also have pigments that give them different colours. The scientists are from the Massachusetts General Hospital in the USA. They say their new drug could many benefits for our health. The biggest benefits could to prevent skin cancer and perhaps even down how old people look. Too much sunlight and getting suntans can give us skin cancer, our skin look old and give us many wrinkles.

The rays lighter-skinned people turn red, unless those people use sunblock or their skin. The drug makes the body produce more dark melanin, which our skin look tanned. Melanin the body's natural sunblock. Researcher Dr David Fisher said the drug could fight skin cancer - the most common type of cancer. He said the drug could make our body more melanin.
