What Causes Dark Spots On The Body After Tanning?
Hi, I ve recently been tanning in a tanning bed for 2 months. I haven t been anymore for the past 3 weeks, however, I ve developed these dry scaly spots in different areas in the shape of a circle. I had 2 on my face. They eventually went away after a week. Now I have the same on my arms (2 spots) and legs (3 spots). No itching or pain. Just wondering what it could be.....
