Q: what are the side effects of tanning while taking a steroid blast then 3 steroid shots for inflamation in foot
Hi Wendy
Please know that we are not medical professionals here. You really need to discuss this with your doctor.
Are you talking about tanning in a tanning bed or in the sun? I am a writer for our skin cancer site and I have written many articles about the dangers of tanning. Regardless of whatever else you have going on health wise...tanning is simply not a good idea. It puts you at risk for developing skin cancer and for damaging your skin.
Let us know more and we can try to research your question in more detail. Thank you for your question.
