[quote=Anonymous]No one on this thread has mentioned skin cancer and melanoma. I believe it's because no one who is willing to indoor tan wants to admit to the scary fact that you are willing to *dramatically* increase your risk of skin cancer for vanity. If you are willing to risk skin cancer to improve your KP, then you should talk to your dermatologist about it first. Also, think about what having skin cancer will mean to your children. Having had cancer myself, as a mother, that is just about the worst thing that you can imagine upon your family. And  yet, here you are, playing Russian roulette knowing full well that tanning beds significantly increase your risk of developing melanomas. Why? It's like driving drunk. Chances are you'd be fine, but why chance it when the consequences could be deadly?

Your money is far better spent seeing a dermatologist who can prescribe stronger lotions and even peels, rather than increasing your risk of skin cancer. The vast, vast majority of melanomas found in young women are highly correlated with indoor tanning practices. KP is annoying and unsightly, but skin cancer is potentially deadly. I hope that you are all very carefully weighing your pros and cons here.
