blue spots under skin seen with tanning bed light

I just started tanning again.  I only tan about one month out of the year about 2x a week.  I have had 3 children.  I am 41.  I noticed when the tanning bed light is one before I start to tan, in the mirror I can see dark spots underneath my skin.  Seems like vein spots.  They are not in clusters.  They are on my legs,under my arm area on my sides.  I do have some not many vericose veins, spider veins on my ankles and starting on the back of my legs.  I have a job where I sit and never stand.  Should I go to a vein doctor?

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
The blue spots you see could be bruises or clots or even atherosclerosis of deep veins. You would need a duplex ultrasound to diagnose the problem. It could also be melanin pigmentation of the skin.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
