Stop tanning: Tanning bed is bad for your skin and will likely wrinkle you at a much earlier age. Your itching is likely from the drying effect or from the healing process from the mild burn at areas not usually exposed to the sun. I don't want to offer you any help in reducing this problem since I think you will regret the time you spend on the tanning bed when you may be looking 20 years older in 10 years.
