Sounds like like you have burnt your skin, or worse.


Merely Me, a writer and community leader for this site wrote an article about these machines and the harm they can and probably will cause. You should read it, I think it helps answer your question about your rash and provides more information about tanning beds.

It's called, Does getting a "base tan" from a tanning bed protect your skin from sun damage?

 

She wrote another good article, titled, Our image of beauty may be contributing to the rise of Skin Cancer. It also addresses the risks you are taking.

 

One article which lists the symptoms of sun poisoning, some treatments and when to seek medical advice is, What you need to know about sun poisoning.

I hope they help you.
