an alternative, however, would be the spray tan beds... no lights, quick tan, and looks just like you tanned in the bed. check your local tanning beds, I'm sure one of them offers it. it may be a little more expensive, but its a quicker, better, and safer tan.
I think your skin can only take so much...im not a physican to say so.. but, id say to much of it is bad for the skin... .. but if u wish to continue then do... but maybe u should ask the people u go to.. about whats on ur back and belly..
Perhaps you should go get checked out by a dermatologist. If your skin isn't tanning uniformly (especially if it did in the past) and you are a heavy user of tanning beds, you are in a high risk category for skin cancer.
Tanning beds are no joke. They cause a lot of permanent skin damage. I work in cancer research. We here of sad cases all the time. Not to long ago I heard about one young 20yr old girl who had a severe case of malignant meloma from over using a tanning bed.
Is it perhaps tinea versicolor? It is a common and harmless skin condition caused by yeast... Try looking it up to see if your non-pigmented spots look similiar...

I would stop using one if I were you.
