hey well i went tanning last week and on the 3rd day afterwards i would have an itchy like heat rash on my stomache and on the 5th day it was really bad. It was exactly like and alergic reaction. i had to take benadryl to stop the itching. Ive been tanning b4 this during the summer and this never happened to me. I did use a different lotion during the summer tho. Why am i getting this reaction? and its not because they dont clean the beds because i see them clean it and i lay on my back the whole time. What is this from??
chaos answered Wednesday October 13 2004, 8:46 am: It could be any of about three things. One could be a reaction to the suntan lotion. Another could be you have "sun poisioning." The third could actually be the stuff they are using to clean the beds with. As far as it being on your stomach, its pretty tender skin there, and you might have been laying on it. If you were, that part would get the most exposure. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]
gymcutiepie01 answered Wednesday October 13 2004, 7:25 am: this rash you got was probably the heat rays and a new kind of lotion and when you put them together it probably made your skin uncomfortable so you would have a rash. what you want to do is keep taking the benadryl and use the same kind of lotion that u used during the summer. if you cant find the lotion go to the store and get some aloe gel it works on rashes and burns. hope this helped!! good luck!!

MFS answered Tuesday October 12 2004, 9:39 pm: You likely have sun poisoning. UV radiation causes this reaction in your skin. the only way to avoid it is to avoid the sun... and that means not going tanning anymore. Odds are that once you get sun poisoning once, you'll have it your whole life. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
