Tanning bed + you = not destined for anything except maybe weird marks. Try Jergens Tanning Lotion; it works so well, and it comes in 3 types (for pale skin, medium, and dark) so it's personalized to YOUR skin. Plus, it's under $10 and you don't have to worry about some weird spot on your skin that might grow into a flesheating cancer thing. I personally think the only ways to tan are to slather on some SPF and go out in a bikini or get some tanning lotion. Tanning showers and beds are just not ... natural.
Good luck with your tan and hope I helped!

I use to work at a tanning salon and this is normal for some skin types. Just use some aloe vera and it should go away in time. I have pretty fair skin and i burn easy and this happened to me the first time i went but it is normal. After the itching and burning you're skin will probably peel but that is normal to so don't worry if that happens.
Remember to always tan respsonsibly too =)

I found a lotion that had aloe and cucumber in it. It cooled down the burn and stopped the itch plus it smelled good!

Take a shower. Take an antihistamine (bendryl) to bring down the heat and skin reaction. Advil will bring down the inflammation. Lastly use lotion to heal the skin. I prefer to use a after sun lotion. Good luck

Try using aloe lotion. You can also put baby oil or baby oil lotion on or in your bath. There is really nothing you can do besides moisturize at this point and be more carefully next time.

My mother got skin cancer from going to the tanning bed twice. That is how quicky it can happen. I think you should go to a docter and get it looked at
