ichy skin

I have had extremly ichy skin. It seems to be after I use  the tanning bed. It is usually the worst in the middle of the night. It is not a contact thing. I have not changed anything lotions,detergents medications(not on any) etc. I usually go tanning and then to the gym to work out(cardio and weights) I have been tanning for several years at the same place and never had a problem. I have also been working out for years also. There is a slight raised rash for a short time after iching my skin. It goes away within minutes.

The same thing just happened to me!  I don't know what it is or what causes it but it happened after I went to the gym and worked out.  I got off the treadmill and all of a sudden my face, neck, arms, and upper back got really itchy and after I scratched them the skin was raised and there were little bumps that would go away after a few minutes. I don't fake bake or anything but maybe it has something to do with sweating??

I have been tanning (artificially) twice in my life. Each time I do I get incredible little pen ***** feelings all over my body. It is a very strange sensation. At first I thought it was an itch, but after further investigation it seemed to be under my skin. I recommend to NEVER GO FAKE BAKING AGAIN! Seriously those places a nasty, and that radiation cant be good for you.
