Tanning Sessions, Pricking Sensation On Skin. Causes ?
I started tanning in a tanning bed a week ago I started out slow and only went every other day. This week I tanned yesterday for about 10 minutes and today for not even 2 minutes. I began to feel like needles were poking me every where on my body. The last time I tanned in a tanning bed was three years ago and I had the same problem so I stopped tanning. I figured that every thing was ok until today when it was just miserable. What could it be?
