Hi there!
I would recommend two things:
1. Stop using the tanning bed for sure.
2. Go see your doctor!
If this is something that is worrying you please schedule an appointment with your doctor so you can get some peace of mind.
In the meantime here is an article by our Doctor Berman about how to tell the difference between benign sun spots and skin cancer.
Let us know how things work out for you. If you haven't already done so...make an appointment with you doctor or dermatologist today.
