I have cutaneous hypersensitivity is a tanning bed bad when you have this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Vicki If your skin is already sensitive, your risk of sunburn in a tanning bed will go way up. Not to mention the overall danger of getting melanoma from a tanning bed in general. All things considered, avoid tanning altogether, but failing that, at least until your skin has cleared up. Hope this helps!
