Hello,
As per my clinical experience, the blotches and redness on arms and legs after using tanning bed indicates hypersensitivity to sun exposure of certain degree temperature. It is the issue of individual sensitivity of skin layers and use of certain sunscreen lotion having 50 - 60 SF unit protection value can be of immense help in many of the cases.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
