Common Questions and Answers about Heat bumps from tanning

heat

Avatar f tn for the past few months I have been going to a tanning bed and I've noticed itchy red bumps on certain parts of my skin. I've cut down on the tanning bed but the bumps have gotten worse. I am aware it is probably a heat rash and the tanning bed is causing but I would like to know what can help prevent it and what can help take it away or calm it down?
Avatar f tn Is it all because of the one time I went tanning before I got married? Is it PMLE or just a heat rash? Furthermore, while on vacation my rash won't show up until about the 3rd or 4th day into my vacation and then it covers my whole body. Why do you think this is? Side Note: I'm an spf nazi and cake 30-50 on at all times. I love swimming and vacationing, but the thought of going makes me depressed due to my ugly rash.
1025521 tn?1252507728 Oh my goodness! Everyyear, I go through the same thing!!! I am an RN as well, and I usually get the welts and bumps on my belly and back. Places the sun doesn't normally get to, but slightly of areas. But to be honest, it itches, and looks gross. Cutting to the chase, it'll go away in acouple of weeks. It is the heat from the tanning bed mixed with amount of "sun" you skin has to adjust to!
Avatar n tn this small bumps that you have on your fingers are probably coming from and allergic reaction to something your eating or touching or it could be a heat rash because at this moment i have the same red little bumps on my fingers and its irratating and the best thing to do is not scratch it and expecially try to not go in the sun alot and keep the temperatures around you at a moderate tempewrature because like i said it could be a heat rash I also have the bumps and i go to the doctors on the 31 o
Avatar m tn t breathe which caused the heat rash. If one is burned from the sun or from a tanning bed then the skin tightens up and forms a layer of skin that is closed and the sweat underneath that is trying to come out of the pores that are now blocked or closed, can cause blisters from the sweat trying to get out. Also note that you can get planter's warts from tanning beds also. I had that painful experience and so am very cautious about having the bed properly cleaned before I get in it.
1730786 tn?1310092814 im not quite sure what this could be since ive never tanned before but a suggestion im thinking of is just little heat bumps. also.. my sister tans quite a bit and when she was on the pill she did notice she gets these little bumps 2. try talking to a dr again and see what they say! best of luck!
Avatar f tn i have been tanning for years not every day but every summer untill i get that golden color so i dont go that much. But today when i went tanning a little into my 10 minutes i notice bumps on my breast's littel tinny bumps all over them. As soon as i notices i steped out then i see they where filled with some kind of water i poped a couple it stung for a bit but nothing happend! When i got out of the room my friend told me the same thing happend to her.
Avatar f tn The effects of the deep over all heat from the tanning lights last throughout most of day. It is wonderful. I know people say tanning is bad...but when you suffer every day w/ no relief the benefits outweigh the risks. I do 3x a week for 10-20 minutes. I am 58 years old. Just thought I would share this treatment if it can help anyone else.
Avatar n tn i have that problem too...but i go to tanning beds about 5 to 6 times a week. As soon as i saw the bumps on places such as my belly,back of legs and forearm (some smaller and less noticeable than others) i tell myself "thats it!,tomorrow NO TANNING"but the next day they are gone(*argh*)it's confusing and annoying.I'm glad to know that it's common for skin that is sensitive to the UV rays.
Avatar n tn Have spent some time in the sun and tanning beds my whole life (Im 23 years old). I havent been in a tanning bed in quite some time, but recently went. The next day I noticed red/purplish spots all over the inside of my forearms (rang in size of tiny-small freckles). I have had a few similar looking spots on the tops of my hands before after tanning that later turn darker brown, than lighter brown, then the disappear. This is also happening with the spots on my forearms.
Avatar f tn If your tanning at the beach and not in an actual tanning bed I would say its safe. But I would put sunscreen on so you dont burn.
867582 tn?1311627397 Hi all! An update: I'm still tanning indoors, but have noticed it makes me feel much weaker for about 3 days, along with having more numbness. From what I have read, the adverse MS response to heat should disappear once the body cools down. However, my reaction lasts - usually about 3 days.
Avatar f tn Why would anything natural like that be bad for you and the baby? On the flip side, tanning beds give you super charges of artificial UV rays from only a few inches away. That's what will fry your baby. Plus, tanning beds are just bad for everyone.
Avatar f tn I never use tanning beds or tanning lotions I just use some good old sunscreen and sit out for hours either sitting or doing things around outside but since I got pregnant in august 2014 and where I live some days were cold and warm then old again and now today I'm loving this heat and I was just wondering if it's safe but thank you
1227909 tn?1267853479 Not everybody has the same problem. If you break out in itchy bumps from the sun on treatment, it is not hard to see that you will not tolerate the sun on treatment.
Avatar n tn I wouldn't advise it and being out in the sun or heat for long periods of time is going to raise your body tempature as well as the babies, you don't have much longer I would wait
Avatar f tn Despite what most people think u can also tan during pregnancy... If tanning hurt the baby then everyone who went to tanning salons would be cooking their insides. You just have to make sure you don't over heat.... So yes tanning and breast feeding is fine. Plus the tanning will make you feel revitalized.
Avatar f tn You need to stop. It will cook your baby. Tanning bed cook from the inside out!!
250701 tn?1320974765 temp were you are is 93 degrees and it is 66% humidity. I am well acclimated to heat and humidity. I am not exactly the beach or tanning type but I already know how my skin responds to the pool, various sun screen/block, the sun, sweating and most important: to what degree the meds are photosensitive. **photosensitivity is the huge wild card here that is unique to your physiology. All we can do is share how we respond in the conditions you outlined.
Avatar n tn i have had this weird rash on my hand it is primarely behind my thumb and extends almost to my wrist. it looks like small little red bumps and there are parts where there are globs making it look really patchy. i also have a few dots on my pointer middle and ring finger. this is only on my right hand though. I did go and use a tanning salon last week but i did not burn anywhere after i had finished.
Avatar f tn I know tanning beds are a big no but is it okay to lay in the sun as long as I d
Avatar f tn For about a month I have have small red aka bumps appear first on my stomach about five in different places then cont to my back.
Avatar f tn I use st. Tropez mousse every now and then this pregnancy and last. But if you are really worried you could just do a powder bronzer for a subtle glow. Also I did see in pinterest once that you could use cocoa powder and lotion. You can Google it for directions but the pics looked natural!
