Got White Spots From Tanning?

White spots from tanning are usually the result of tinea vesicular, or a fungus. It originates from the hair, and like dandruff, it drops from the hair onto your skin. The only difference is it is much smaller (usually you can't see) and it keeps those areas from tanning. It is commonly found on skin in the shoulder, arm, back, chest area.

The most effective form of treatment is using a dandruff shampoo like Head-n-Shoulders on your hair, and also apply a small amount directly to the affected spots on the skin and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before rinsing. Do this daily for several weeks, religiously, and it will go away. If you leave it untreated, it will likely continue. Many salons also offer specialty products that do the same thing and it is the same process, just a different brand.

Getting white spots from tanning doesn't mean you are not bathing enough or have bad hygiene, but you are just unlucky enough to get this fungus so now you have to get rid of it! Believe it or not, it is more common than you think, and it will go away if you follow the instructions above.
