Can Bumps Be Prevented During Tanning?
Hello, I ve been tanning off and on for about 2 years and I just started noticing bumps which look like bug bites on the insides of my elbows and on the upper part of my bottom. I wasn t sure what this was or how I could treat/prevent it when I go tanning again. Thank You!

Hi.
As per your case history of tanning, my treatment advice is -
1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30.
2. Apply a kojic acid cream like kojivit twice daily on affected skin.
3. Take a vitamin c supplement once daily for 30 days.
4. Other treatment options are topical hydroquinone and chemical peeling done by dermatologist.
Thanks.
