Dry skin. Maybe cooties.\n\nAre you using lotion during tanning? Clean beds? Lotion/moisturize afterward?

Skin irritation and itching can come from a variety of problems. Allergies to foods are common but are usually easy to diagnose after it occurs after eating the same food or same ingredient in a food. The only bad thing is the reaction usually gets worse ease time you are exposed.  Contact allergies can come from detergents, perfumes or anything else that contacts your skin. PSoriasis is a skin condition that causes itching and severe dryness and flaking of the skin but not welts. Last but not least, I  have seen people break out in hives and itching dwhen they get really nervous.  The most important thing to know is when to seek treatment.  Benadryl may provide the answer, but if the you have a true anaphylactic (allergic) reaction involing your airway you could be minutes from death if not treated appropriately.

Your skin could be irritated by a new product you are using (shampoo, soap, scented pads, etc.)

Has she tanned more than once in a day? The throwing up might be from rotting meat. If you tan too much, it can literally "cook" the inside of you. Get her to a doctor now to make sure this is not the problem. It could also have to do with a reaction to the rays in the tanning beds. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!\n\nAlso the cooking can basically only happen in the tanning beds, outside tanning is alright, but not too much. She may just have a stomach bug.

Switch to aveno brand soaps,and you need a better moisturizer,i will suggest eucerin it is thick and works great. I am sure you are just having a dry skin episode.You also should increase your water intake which will help your skin regain itys moisture. I would nt relate your itchiness after masturbation to having a dry skin problem. Probably your body is just more relaxed which allows you to feel that your itching more then before you masturbated.

Sounds like a reaction to something you did that caused you to become allergic. The symptoms are the itchy, followed with hot red bumps, brought on by you intitating the scratching. First you need to ask yourself some questions....Did I eat something to cause this reaction? Did I use a new cosmetic on my skin or a old one? Did I try a new detergent? Or is the one I always use making me get a reaction? Is the medication or herbal pills or both making me break-out? What ever it is drink alot of water to flush out your system...keep a written journal on what you do and just monitor your self. It is cheapier to heal yourself than visit the doctor. Use common sense. Use products that are allergy-free. Good Luck

I used to work in a tanning salon for four years.  You are trying to get a tan way too fast.  You must gradually get a tan.  Right now you are sunburned which means your body is going to get rid of all those cells you just killed and all the tanning you've done has been for nothing.  Buy a tanning lotion that is meant for use in the tanning bed.  One that you use outside is NOT recommended.  It can ruin the acrylic on the tanning bed.  If you can afford a tanning bed lotion, as they can be quite spendy ranging from $15 for the cheap stuff, (where you might as well just use a moisturizer), and up to $45 for the awesome stuff.  Back to your problem... you itch because your skin is dried-out.  You need to give your skin a break and go back to the beginning.  When you start tanning again start with going half of the maximum time allowed in the bed OR LESS.  If you burn the first time go less time the next time.  If you didn't get ANY color don't go anymore than 2-3 minutes more than the last time.  You really must gradually work on your tan in a tanning bed go get the best tan for your money.  BTW, if you decide to go for that lotion I recommend something with a bronzer and without the hot stuff... your tanning salon should know what I'm talking about.  ALSO... if you have very pale skin and have never been able tan outdoors you will not be able to get tan in a tanning bed and is not recommended that you try to do so.  Also, always use those tanning eye covers... you can do severe damage to your eyes without doing so, and over time at the very least you can get uncorrectable night visionn problems.

I also suffer from SAD and have been successfully utilizing a tanning salon, in the winter months only, with great results.  I realize UVA/UVB rays can be harmful, but I use sunblock and I only go 2 times a week during Dec./Jan./Feb.; by then, spring is back where I live and I can be outdoors again.

Stop itching right away. Find an anti-itch cream or powder. You're damaging your skin. There could be a whole slew of microbial germs underneath your fingernails. At the very least, scrub your hands and nails thoroughly and as often as possible. Use a anti-bacterial soap and a nailbrush.\nEducate yourself with some dermatology basics. You'll be amazed what you can learn. Someone said earlier, your clothing detergent and bleach may be suspect. They're right. Never sacrifice quality when it comes to detergents.\nMany times also, there could be furniture with unseen mites which could irritate the skin. Vacuum often using hepa filters. Steam clean once in a while. Try changing your bedding linen with more frequency. Good Luck.

Likely some sort of contact dermatitis.  Use some cortisone or Benedryl cream.  If that doesn't help, see a doctor.  Did you start using a new soap or lotion - that may be the reason.  Or you've suddenly developed an allergy.

tanning is a reaction of your skin to protect itself from UV rays, melanin is produced to help absorb some of the radiation.  Sunburn is an actual burn, damage done from overexposure to the radiation.  What determines the difference is the intensity of the radiation and the duration.

It's possible.  If there are artifical flavorings, preservatives, or coloring, that are in the brand you buy, they could be the cause of itching.

there is a new tanning spray that colors you skin. It works really good but, can't think of the name of it. It last for quite a while.

90% of the time, itchy skin is merely a sensitivity to something in your environment--it's the other 10% that you'll need to be concerned about.  Itchy skin can be a symptom of certain cancers, such as Hodgkin's Disease Lymphoma.  I ask you, are there other symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, night sweats (drenching amounts of sweat that only occur while sleeping), or fatigue?  Even if there isn't, I'd still recommend seeing a doctor, who can use some simple blood tests to determine whether it's worth further examining.\n\nYou may also be experiencing allergies to something such as detergents (I doubt this one, or you'd be itching everywhere clothing touches you), dust, soaps, shaving creams or gels, or even certain foods.  Think back to when this all started, and see if you can remember any changes you made out of the ordinary.  You may also try changing your razor if you shave your legs; sometimes the blades of mass-produced razor heads aren't in exact allignment, and the tiny little scrapes that they produce--even if you didn't feel them when they happened--can become irritated and make your skin itch.  In fact, the little bumpy rashes you described fit nicely with this possibly being the problem.\n\nFor relief in the meantime, you can try taking Benadryl tablets along with using Hydrocortisone creams.  You're right to be aware of how much you're scratching, since it's easy to make a bad situation even worse by creating little open wounds with your fingernails.\n\nWhatever you do, please go to a doctor first and work this issue from worse-case scenero first before switching over this and that, these and those.  \n\nGood luck to you!

Itch is produced due to the presence of certain noxious chemicals at the site of itch like histamine e.g. released in allergic conditions like hay fever, or substances produced by local pathogens like cutaneous bacteria that may flourish if a person has little habbit of bathing. These chemicals inturn stimulate nerve endings at specific receptors which take the itch sensation to spinal cord. When we scratch then itching stops because of following mechanisms: 1) either the noxious chemical or agent is removed or 2) the sensory receptor gets exhausted and stops generating impulses because of sudden strain of stimuli during the process of scratching 3) scratching stimulates pain nerve endings which results into supression of further sensations from that area due to reflex inhibition of the neuron. \n\nWhat you have asked can has two mechanisms, i will try to make them clear,\n\n(I). A single neuron does not end by supplying a sigle receptor rather it has many nerve endings which take sensations over a large area and different neurons are interconected with each other, this means that if one neuron at a particular site is stimulated say by those chemicals, sensations wil also be reffered to the areas of other neurons to which that particular neuron is interconnected (this is also the mechanism for "reffered pain") but normally body will preferably perceive that site from which impulses have highest frequency and intensity i.e. the original site of itch, and body will ignore other sites from which weak impulses are coming. When you will itch on that original site, the impulses from that site will vanish suddenly but from the weak sties will continue. In this way will feel as if the same sensation has shifted from original site to another site.\n\n(II). Another mechanism may be that sometimes when you scratch the itching area this cause hault of impulse generation by the receptor at that site but also stimulates other neurons to which the original neuron is interconnected and this results into shifting of same sensation to the skin area of the other neuron.\n\nAlso please keep in mind that certain dermatological conditioins in there mider form like mild allergy, hay fever, urticaria, hives, dermatitis, etc can cause itching because the receptors become sensative due to the presence of histamine and other madiators of allergy, I will recommend if it is a long term problem consult a skin specialist.

the reason our skin itch sometimes is due to the effect of our own body immune system against antigen (foreign body not recognize by our immune system). \nWhen antigen enters our body through skin, it is detected by Langerhans cells beneath our skin and triggers our immune system to release histamine to eradicate the antigen, and the histamine secretion is the reason why our skin feel itch sometime.
