I have small red spots on my torso after tanning. do they get larger if not treated? do they go away after time?

Unsure: As with any rash an eyes on exam is always best. It could be an irritation around the hair follicles. If not too bad observe it for a few days. More importantly - why tanning? Dark skin culturally viewed as healthy but it's on the same scale as smoking as cancer risk. Invest in spray on if needed or gradual coloring body lotion. http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/skin/basic_info/indoor_tanning.htm
