Weird blotchy rash- Very worried! :-( - tanTALK

summerbaby21 · 05-02-2009, 02:22 PM

Hi everyone, I've been tanning on and off for a couple years. Today I went in into the stand up machine and did 12 mins, which is usually not a problem but when I stepped out, I had these red polka dot like blotches on the front part of my skin. It's been about an hour now and the redness has gone down but the blotchiness part now looks darker, like a tan! What happened??? Could it be that I had gone into a sauna about 45 mins before I went tanning or maybe it was because I used a different lotion?? Is this gonna last?? I'm going away soon on vacation and I can't look like this... :'-(

What tanning lotion are you using? What stand up machine did you use?

I'm not quite sure, I used a sample lotion and I can't remember the name of the machine. But this has never happened to me before, it's not the first time I've used this machine at all!

Probably got a tingle lotion. Let the red die down before tanning again and stay away from tingle lotions.
