Red Bumps all over - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

I have a customer who has suddenly began to get red bumbs (thousands), at the age of 48 when she's exposed to the sun.

The bumps were mostly on her thighs, butt, stomach, & shoulders. No problem with the arms, lower legs or face.

Never before had she had this problem, but suddenly weather she's in the sun or a tanning bed she gets them.

She saw a doctor last year, & was given an antihistamine (spell check) & a cream. This took care of the problem within approximately three days.

What are these called?

& is there anything she can do besides seeing a doctor?

Sounds like it could be a heat rash.

Tell her to have herself tested for UV LUPUS,

I have known some women that have already been through "the change of life" get red bumps when tanning indoors and outdoors that they didnt get prior to menopause.....
