Hi.... I have been going to the tanning bed for about 2 weeks now and the last day or 2 i have been getting an itchy rash on my legs and stomach. today when i went i got a very bad stinging sensation i didnt have it the whole first week and im not sure what is going on. i havent changed lotions and i have gone to the same bed every time. i already know tanning is bad for you but im going to try it anyway so if anyone could help me out with what might be going on.

Thanks, Kelly

Are you going everyday?

Would you describe this rash as similar to Sun Burn?

I'm thinking either whatever is used to clean the bed is reacting with your skin or conversely the beds are not cleaned properly and you have picked up some kind of contagious rash.

Take some Benadryl and see if your rash goes down. If not you may need to consult your doctor.
