Hi my friend had that same thing once when she started tanning and it was a fungus. Her doctor gave her some ointment and it went away. But as an ex-frequent tanning bed user I just want to say you shouldn't tan because its bad for you and melanoma is sneaky. :)

I have the same thing, I have had it since I was in middle school, I went to the dr and I heard everything from non cancer melanoma to the michael jackson disease. The only thing I figured out was a way to cover it. I however can't seem to find the lotion anymore. I haven't looked on the internet yet but If you could find it It will help. There was a tanning lotion that was actually for sun spots. It covered them well, Another thing was getting a mystic tan, ( a spray on tan) It may be fake but that covered some of mine. I am however going to look for that lotion again.
