Tanning Issues??

[ShaneA655]

I have always tanned very well on legs, stomach, back, etc...
Only issue was arms. They dont get as brown as my legs and chest. Face also for some reason doesnt get as brown anymore. I am more sensitive to tanning for my face now for some reason??
My question is about 5 months ago, i broke out in a rash over my body. Little red spots on legs, arms, chest, jsut about everwhere. It went away but as it went away, I cant seem to get the tan I want. My legs for some reason wont tan like they use to? I went to dermatologist whom isnt very good.....but he said i should tan more to get pigment back? Is that true? It gets really blotchy and doesnt tan. Just gets red and patchy. Also, same on my arms as well and now on my upper chest and I get little red bumps sometimes after tanning bed use and it ofcourse doesnt turn brown like it use to. Overall, my tan isnt what it use to be and I dont know why? Could it be the red bumpy rash i had and pigment hasnt restored or what? The bumps are gone on most of my body unless i tan for a little and sometimes they return. Could it be my lotion I use???I did change lotions and might be it? But when I am outside, my legs nor arms get a smooth tan. Just blotchy. Sorry for rambling. please tell me what is going on and what i can do
