So we'll get this out of the way- I tan in sunbeds 2-4 times a month (10-20 minutes, use lotions and eye protection)....
A few weeks ago I left my face exposed (w/ eye protection natch- I usually cover my entire face and neck) and a few days later I noticed a flaky discolored patch on the skin on my forehead near my temple. I put Neosporin on it because it was sore but it healed.
The skin is still faintly purple-ish & I'm certain it's from the tanning bed. I'm on BC pills so I think the hormones just made me more sensitive to the sunbed. BUT I know this is serious (my unblemished face is part of my income)....Should I go to a dermatologist now? Or can I wait and see if it fades....?
