Why does tanning do this to my skin?

I'm not a sun worshipper or anything, but last week laid out for a while because I heard it would help the keratosis pilaris I have on my upper arms and thighs.

It worked better than any other treatment before, but after a week my condition seemed to be getting even worse than before! Do you know why it does this? I don't want to have to constantly sun bathe either, so do you guys have any suggested alternatives? Thank you so much! Please answer this!

i don't think tanning does it specifically .. i know a lot of people have it though and im pretty sure they dont tan, i think usually people get it when they shave. or sometimes people just get it naturally from something i dont know.





why dont you use spray tan if it really bothers you? :P

Reply:I think you should go to a dermatologist if you haven't already.


Good luck!
Reply:That website you gave has several treatments for your condition. Maybe you need to read it again. I am sorry you have this, but it does say that a lot of times it gets better as you get older.
