Can I use a tanning bed?
You really shouldn’t. Tanning booths or tanning beds expose you to ultraviolet light (UV). Most people with lupus are very sensitive to ultraviolet light. Getting too much UV can make lupus skin rashes worse or cause new ones to appear. UV can also make other lupus symptoms worse. UV, whether from a tanning bed or from the sun, can also cause skin cancer.
