Tanning bed use may be a cause not a cure for acne. Boils are staph if. U got a boil after tanning at a tan salon and staph can spread. That could be a cause of lots of peoples acne including mine. Now how to cure it??

lol dont worry you just posted today. youre bound to get people to comment in a few days. although ill be the first ;)
i do not know much about tanning beds accept the fact that if you have acne or redmarks to stay out of them.

now i have heard of people reporting acne after being in tenning beds i do believe it wasnt acne though something else on the skin caused by uv rays.
my suggestion to you would be to maybe just stay out of the sun and tanning beds for a little while. use a cleanser thats made for boils or staph infections.

theres bound to be a good soap out there made for this type of skin infection on google just look it up. im sorry that i did not help much. but also are you positive that this is where your acne came from? maybe it was concidence? did your family haave acne? maybe when you went to the tanning bed the lotion you used on yor face caused you to have a reaction to it looking like something similar to acne? maybe hormones come into play? there are so many things that come down to acne you cant always just pin point one thing to it to be 100% positive. Also if you really think that this skin infection only occured after tanning you should definately see a doctor about it. they should be able to tell you 90% pisitive results of what it really is. good luck!

If you believe you have a skin infection or have been plagued with sudden acne, go to the store and purchase Hibiclens, or its generic, at Walgreens. Use it twice a day and let it sit on your skin for 5 minutes maximum. Hibiclens is used in surgery to help clean out wounds and infections. Be careful. It can be drying. Only use it until you have knocked out the infection. Do not moisturize afterwards! Doing so will lessen the effect of the cleanser.
