A member asked:
I've gone tanning in a tanning bed and my butt is burnt. i went today again and i noticed part of it looks like a welt/raised skin. what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tanning Beds: The lesions could be related to sunburn or possibly due to chemicals which are used to clean the tanning bed. Tanning beds significantly raise the risk for skin cancer. If you love yourself - quit the tanning.
