Has anyone ever went tanning for the first time and started to break out in hives?

I just started tanning last week and I am starting to think that I might have an alergic reaction to the tanning solution that I bought from the place. My whole body itches and if I itch to much the hives start to come. Has anyone else ever had this problem???? What did you do?

Had the same...It was the cleaning spray.

I would stop using the lotion and take a benadryl per the boxes instructions. Make sure you wipe down the bed before you get in. You may be allergic to the lotion or the cleaner they use on the bed.... more likely the lotion. You could be sensitive to this tingly stuff they put in the lotion too. I am very pale and have tanned many times in beds with and without lotion... I dont really see any positive results from the lotion so I never use it. I have used the lotions with "tingle" in them and my legs turned bright red! Just stop using it and see what happens.
Reply:i had the same problem. i went to see the Doctor and he says that some peoples skin cant take the UV lights so the body will react to it by itching or breaking out in hives. so i never went back tanning again i use the self tanning lotions and they work great
Reply:You could also be allergic to the spray that they use to clean the bed after each person. Ask them if you can spray the bed using a water bottle so you can get the cleaning solution off. I would see if the itching still continued after this while using your tanning lotion. If it still does, than stop using the lotion.
Reply:You could have Polymorphous light eruption, rash that occurs as a result of sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity).
