  • Intense itching after using a tanning bed?

    Hi and PLEASE STOP USING TANNING BEDS, which increase your chance of skin cancer each time you enter one. I am sure you look great with a tan, so buy a self-tanning lotion. Many are so good that I can't tell the difference from a natural tan .https://themighty.com/topic/skin-cancer/stephanie-ehrlich-skin-cancer-tanning-bed-photos/  As for the itching: try taking Claritin, Allegra, or Zyrtec.

    Most lipomas can be removed quite simply. Stitches will be required. The number removed per session: depends on the surgeon/dermatologist.

When new lipomas will cease to form is an open question. READ MORE
