The symptoms and signs typically suggestive of the allergic reactions to the tanning beds.
Avoid using the particular bed. You can apply over the counter available low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. An antihistamine like cetirizine can also be taken.
Generally, the lesion will settle in a few days.
