Burn, rash, blisters,itching....HELP!!!

What have I done to myself!??! Im just wondering if this is a common thing, or if Im just a rare occurance...

I have recently started tanning again. (pretty pale!) I went the first few times, 4 min. then 5 min. (The bed is pretty strong they told me, so they started me out on very few minutes).....

Nothing from either of those times. Not even pink..no color.

So they bumped me to six minutes. (this was last week). And they told me to flip over half way thru and lay on my stomach.

I thought everything was fine, till the next day! I have a welt-like looking rash on my breats, underneath them, on my stomach, and a few places on my back. ITCHES like crazy!!!! They aren't really blisters, more like hive type welts. Nothing on my legs or really even on my arms. Just my front...and back.

The last time I tanned was a few days ago. I haven't seen much improvement. I still itch and the welts haven't gone away too much....maybe a little, but not as much as I thought they would have.

So is this casued from me turning over and laying on my stomach? The lotion? The heat? Too much tanning too fast?

....or all of the above??

Can I keep tanning, if I keep these areas covered?? (mainly my front....its the worst!!)

stop tanning till your skin cleares up. did you tell the salon about your problem. if so they should be able to help you and should have told you to stop tanning.

more info needed as to what caused it. like whats the max session time on the bed and the make. did u tan everyday or skip days.

ps go see a doctor. oh yeah and if your salon cant help or worse knows but still continued to let u tan get a new salon

No, I haven't mentioned it to the salon yet. Haven't been back

I think the max session is 20 min. in that bed. I did go every day for about 4 days in a row, increasing my time each day...by a minute or so.

Can't remember the make of the bed. But its a BIG one. Not a small or standard size one.

why do I need to go to the dr.???? What are you assuming is wrong!?? I just thought it was the lotion or too much tanning...too soon!

what causes this kinda rash????

Re: Burn, rash, blisters,itching....HELP!!!

i have also developed these welps, but they have taken place on my chest .. to be more specific, they're on the inside area of my boobs ... they first started last year when i used a tanning oil to tan which i know you're not supposed to use .. but anyways. its disappeared and came back & so on...but it has reappeared again and started to spread up to my neck ... im going to the doctor tomorrow so if he finds out whats going on, i'll reply again and letcha know. hang in there!!!

Oh my God!!!! YOU ARE ALL DOOMED!!!! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!

It's called STOP TANNING SO FAST!

Remedy:
STOP FADING TO WHITE! ALWAYS KEEP A BASE TAN!!!!

And use Nizoral dander shampoo from CVS in the shower. It'll clear up your T.V. that you have.
