Red spots appearing on my body after

[pt32566]

I went to the tanning salon on Saturday.  On Sunday I went again and then on Monday I noticed a few red spots just on my legs here and there, which I thought were mosquito bites on my legs, tonight I went to tan again staying in 2 min longer and wella I got home and these red spots are now all over my body.  They do not itch as yet...but some of the older ones look like they have a small blister on the top and a couple of them have popped and are going away now but not as fast as the new ones are appearing.  I am on several meds for blood pressure, thyroid and colestrol and I have recently started taking a multi vitamin.  I am not usually allergic to anything that I know of.  What the heck is this someone suggested Erythema Multiforme so Iooked it up and thse do kinda look like EM but don't see any connection with tanning beds....???? Anyone have any suggestions?  thanks

stay away from the tanning solons the tanning beds will dry your skin out and you will age long before your tme.also can irritate the skin and causing you to break out.vitamin e works well on those kind of skin blemishes.buy a bottle of vitamin e gell caps 400 iu cut them open and spread it on the effected areas

Hello,
I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be irritant contact dermatitis,folliculitis or sweat dermatitis. Pls keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove.Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful.In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist in that case.

I hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
