A member asked:
I just went on vacation and as i tanned i noticed some splotchy spots on my arms and stomach, what could this be caused by, what can i do to stop it?

Tinea Versicolor: The yeast overgrowth that caused the "rash" was probably there before you tanned and looks worse because the dermatophyte that causes the infection blocks the pigment. You should see a dermatologist to get proper treatment.
