Tanning bumps PLEASE ANSWER

I went to the tanning bed first time yesturday, I went in a mega bed but only went in for 6 mins. I didnt use any lotion cause I didn’t see the point. When I got out I was pink and I was tingling but thats about it. This morning I woke up and noticed in the mirror two very small white bumps on my chin. Im sure I didnt have them before I went tanning the night before and im a little worried I’ve heard that maybe its because I have dry skin and didnt use lotion or maybe the mega was a bit to strong anyways I’m worried and I need advice can anyone tell me what they are and if they’ll go away and how I stop this from happening? This isnt my first time tanning but its been a while and I dont remeber having these little white bumps come up anywhere.

Answer #1

I wouldn’t tan in a tan bed anymore. Just tan naturally, it’s not safe either, but at least it’s a real tan ,and you won’t turn out looking like those blond chicks who look like an oompa loompa, agreed? :)

Answer #2

It could be totally unrelated or it could be prickly heat. prickly heat happens when skin comes in to contact with high temperatures and/or the sun. next time why not use some fake tan instead, far better for your health in the long run. :)

Answer #3

well you probably dont know that tanning beds and salons contribute to skin cancer the government just allowed that crap to pop up everywere without any tests being done now young people are dying from skin cancer and melanomas as a direct result from using tanning beds they also age your skin and face your lumps might be cancerouse, but they might not youll need to see a doctor about them, and tell them were you got them so he/she can try to figure out what they are and even six minutes is enought to get skin cancer and your skin was tingling because you burned it next time, at least research the dangers and risks of tanning beds before you put your body in one that way you can at least know about them and think “well now I know that thing causes skin cancer, should I get in it or not?”
