A member asked:
Is it safe to go to the tanning bed, while using triamcinolone acetonide?

Yes: Triamcinolone does not increase photosensitivity. As a dermatologist, however, I do not recommend tanning beds because of increased risk of skin cancers including melanoma.

No: Tanning is not safe and is not recommended for anyone. It increases the risk of skin cancer and accelerates facial and body aging. Sunscreen with titanium and zinc can help protect you from uva and uvb rays, but avoiding sun exposure is best. Spray tanning and tanning lotions are a reasonable alternative to achieve a bronzed look, but they may not be safe for pregnant/ lactating women.
