Ive been tanning for years and a lot of my friends have had the same thing happen.I believe it is to much exposure being ours only happens during the beginning of tanning visits then goes away after about the first ten visits.Its very irritating and not so pretty.The only time it doesn't happen is when I tan in a weaker bed.The stronger the bulbs the more irritation.I guess its best to start out staying in only half the time but I always want my moneys worth
I have had the same issue after I tan. My tanning lady said it is common. Tips to help when tanning don't lay on stomach. Use the sanitary towel and place in over the chest when tanning. And ichying spray after. Also make sure u are using non scented lotion after tanning each time.
i tanned onced like last week for 10 minutes with just a face tanner and i have been getting these rashes/bumps that are extremley itchey ALL over my body, even in my lips, thighs, stomach, arms, hands, back! i am still getting them, infact i have a massive one inside my lips now. I red a sunbed booklet and it said if you have any bumps after using the bed to go see your doctor so im going to book an appointment. Anyone have any other suggestions?
I get the bumps too & im on birth control so is it most likely that?
I use to go to tanning bed for a long time but only during the spring to ge a base tan then i stop .but last year and this year i started getting red bumps on my legs and back little on my stomach is this something to worry about ?
You could have a vitamin d deficiency that happened to me after tanning I started taking vitamin d pills and haven't had the problem since ☺️Hope this helps
These are the result of tiny vessels breaking under the skin. The sun can also do this.
I think it is the cleaning solution...I started bringing baby wipes with me and wiping the bed down before I get in...it has fixed the problem
I use a stand up bed. I don't come in contact with anything that the cleaner would touch rather than the handles. I have tanned with and without lotion, I am not on birth control, and I used to mow cemeteries for 8 years, so I know it's not the sweat. I still get the bumps every time I tan. It itches like crazy!!! I just take a benedryl after I tan. In one of the previous comments, they mentioned showering after tanning. Well for best results, you must wait several hours after you tan before you shower or bathe. Just sayin'. Have a freat day!
Tanning can cause skin cancer - forget tanning and your boyfriend If he can't understand that...I watched my sister die from melanoma ....trust me you don't want that!
Ok everyone, the secret is OVER EXPOSURE, YOUR SIMPLY GOING FOR TO LONG TOO FAST!! IF U START AT LIKE 5 MIN AN SLOWLY WORK UR WAY UP, U WON'T GET THIS RASH ANYMORE!!!! IT is a heat rash but the key is to not start out going for too long.
I have them on my stomach and it itches so bad! I read a comment that said it might be because of their Birth Control which I'm on also.
I don't think it's from unsanitary beds because I got them from using a stand up bed
I just read at my tanning salon that people who take Benadryl can have this reaction as well as people that consume dill, mustard, celery, carrots, lime, coriander, parsley, and figs.... I'm guessing mine is the dill and mustard, and the fact that I took Benadryl for this reaction the first time I had it... ugh
