Another Question Re: Tanning

[OmG iTz LaU]

I went tanning and rite after I broke out like in this awful rash type thing. I came out practically crying. When I went to the doctor he said what did u do, i said I tanned. He said it's the chemicals they use to clean the machines.

Happened to my friend also...

This ever happen to anyone? If so, what did u guys do to correct the problem? :rolleyes:

2 things
1. use stand up machines
2. dont use lotions it may cause u to brake out

[OmG iTz LaU]

I used stand ups. But, once I got lazy and decided to switch to a bed. My mistake, my huge mistake.

Well anyway, my "rash" is being cured with -MetroGel(An internal vaginal cream)- Hmmmm...?!? Seems to work though.

it could very well be what they are cleaning the machines with. Do u have sensitive skin? maybe your having an allergic reaction.

It could also be heat rash, which is the prolonged exposure to perspiration that can lead to plugging of the sweat ducts. This results in the duct breaking open and the escape of sweat below the skin which causes the rash known as miliaria.

the last thing that i can think of is the tanning lotion. are u allergic to the lotion u are using?

ur such a wise ass...

Lauren I know about this cause I recently got a bad rash under both my arms from tanning...the itch was unbareable... I used Aveeno anti-itch cream to stop the itching and Gold Bonds baby powder to clear up the rash.

Kelly,

It was horrible though. It only happened for the first time after I went into the bed. When I used stand ups I didn't have any problems. I'm assuming it has to be what they clean the beds with. Other than that, I have no idea.

It's being treated now though with MetroGel. It's taking a while, but hopefully it'll go away.

Thanx babe! :D
