Weird rash from tanning bed....

kitty991 · 04-27-2005, 09:41 PM

So Ive been tanning for years, but for some reason I have got this rash in between my breasts and on my lower back where it touches the bed. Ive never had this happen before. Usually I have burned a little in those places at the beginning of my tanning season (I usually start in April.) Ive started at 7 minutes and tanned 7 times only moving up to 9 today. This is really weird and Im wondering what it is.....

i would ask to see what kind of sanitizer they are using on the bed...i would take some benedryl and next time you go tan ask to have your bed wiped down with hot water.

Unless you are flipping in the bed, and risking breaking it for the owner, you would not have come in contact with an acrylic and therefore anything that may have been left behind after sanitizing.

Consider the lotion you may be using, a change in diet or medications since tanning last or possibly the heat.

sounds like overexposure to me possibly in those areas since you burn on them as well. Are you tanning each day for the 7 days or close to it? try every other day.
