Red Bumps On Knees And Elbows, Itchy, Done Tanning. What Could These Be?
Hi. I am a 25 year old caucasion female i have been tanning since i was about 16. For years now i have gotten these red bumps on my knees and elbows that itch after i go tanning. Sometimes on my finger . I dont know what they are, but they only come after i havent tanned in in a while then start tanning again. What could these be?
Hi red bumps associated with tanning can be features of photoburn and solar urticaria..it is due to excessive work in the sun. Avoid excessive sunexposure by wearing hats.using umbrallas and using food like carrot.tomato.cucumber which has excessive antioxidants to protect from sun. Use a sunscreen of spf more than 50 in the Morning and moisteriser along with demyelinating agent in the night over the tanned areas.use antihistamine to treat red bumps
