16/f. This is been going on for about a week now. Every so often during the day, my back & chest/stomache has this like, burning feeling... and then it'll go away. But its like an irritation. But it'll go away and then it'll come back like 10 minutes later. What is this? I haven't changed any products like soap or anything, so I don't think I'm allergic to anything. The only thing I can think of, is that I've been using tanning lotion (I've been tanning outside)... but I've been using it for about 4-5 weeks and this only started a week ago. Whats wrong?

Also, all the tanning may be hurting your skin. Apply some aloe to the irritated areas, and see if that helps.
ncblondie answered Friday July 22 2005, 6:59 am: Since you've been using the tanning lotion for 4-5 weeks without a reaction, it's probably not that.
Have you tried any new foods or drinks lately? Are you on a new medicine of some kind?
It might be a good idea to see your doctor to get checked out. If your doctor does think it's some sort of skin allergy, they can refer you to an allergist or dermatologist who will test you with common allergens to find out what it is. They can also offer you some cream for the irritation. [ ncblondie's advice column | Ask ncblondie A Question ]
Mackenzie answered Friday July 22 2005, 6:22 am: Oh God. I have noooooooo idea. And I know answering this seems pointless, but I felt I must express my sympathy. I doubt it's the tanning oil if you've been using it so long and you are only NOW experiencing this. Is this a painful feeling?? Have you been running a fever?? Is there a loss of apetite??? I think it's best to have a DOCTOR disgnosis this, Hun! I'm sorrie this is happening, but I hope you feel better!!! =/ [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
