Hi there, Yes, go get it checked out by your GP and we strongly advise against using sunbeds. Sunbeds are a group 1 carcinogen and are known to cause all types of skin cancer, including the most deadly form - melanoma.

Damage is cumulative, irreparable and bad news at any age, but when used, even once at a younger age (under 35) your risk dramatically increases.

If you need anymore advice, please have a look on our website - skcin.org

If in doubt, get it checked out.
