Break Out After Tanning... Please Help! Posted: 02-24-06 03:53am
I have been tanning for roughly a month
now. Two weeks ago, I started using
lotion with no problems. Well, four days
ago, I used the lotion and tanned for 15
minutes. I then went an worked out.
After lifting, I took off my shirt and my
chest was covered in what looked like
pimples. I assumed it was due to the
lotion initially. I was then informed
that working out immediately after tanning
is not the smartest thing to do because
the sweat combined with the lotion/tan can
clog your pores.
I immediately threw away the lotion and
bought some anti-itch, rash stuff. The
next day, 50% of the bumps were gone and
so was the redness. The next day, almost
all of them were gone. So I went an
tanned tonight after my workout without
using the lotion, and I had an ever worse
breakout. Now my chest is even more
covered, a few popped up on my stomach,
back, neck, arms, shoulders and ass. My
traps are covered as well. I immediately
showered with soap and treated the
infected area with the anti-itch cream.
Hopefully the breakout will subside again.
Again, i'm not quite sure if these are
pimples or what. They are little bumps
randomly spread out. After the break out,
most of the bumps were red like pimples.
After showering and applying the cream,
the bumps are now tan like my skin, but
clearly visible. They itch slightly, but
not too bad. Does anyone know exactly
what the breakout is? Also, what is the
main cause of it? Obviously I am going to
stop tanning for the time being. Should I
stop tanning permantely? Any help is
appreciated. I'm a 19/m.

im putting some lotion or oil in my chest
or in my back there this little spots of
red growing on my back and on my chest.
