A teenager who is addicted to sunbeds has revealed that she's spotted worrying signs of UV damage on her body - but still can't stop tanning.

Megan Blain, 18, from Seaham, County Durham, who has used sunbeds almost every day for three years, has previously revealed how she's been abused online over her habit, which she uses to achieved a deep bronzed look.

Some of the nastiest comments have compared her to a 'dirty 2p coin' - but she still visits the salon every day.

Now, Megan has said that she's found new moles on her body that she didn't seem to have before she began regularly tanning - and has warned other people against trying sunbeds.

Her tanning addiction began when she was just 16 years old, in the hope of maintaining a tan that lasted all year round.

She swapped fake tan products for sunbeds and even started injecting herself with tanning agents to achieve a deeper glow.

Despite 'not knowing much about sunbeds' at first, she spent up to half an hour on the beds under the UV lights for over a year, often coated in baby oil to enhance the results.

Speaking in a Truly video, she said: 'I started noticing moles on my back, my hands – I've got moles all over, but you do get moles off the sunbed. I didn't know if the moles were cancerous.

'I've got a mark on my stomach. I tried going to the doctor's but I freeze at the door.'

In a stark warning to others who have considered using sunbeds, she said: 'The addiction's just getting worse. I wouldn't recommend going on sunbeds to anyone.'

Previously, Megan explained she began using sunbeds because she liked how she looked with a tan.

'I'm a person that wears bright colours and liked how it made the colours pop,' she said. 'I started seeing results and how good it made me look and started going on more often.'
