Just started tanning and have developed a few red bumps in odd places that itch...look like scabies ive never had but no one else in house has this.?

Unlikeky: scabies is VERY CONTAGIOUS! Instead it is likely due to the tanning. Best way to find out is take a break for about a week from tanning and apply some Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or cortisol cream to areas. If they get better it was the tanning
