Yes, but sometimes this tanning session doesn\u2019t go quite as planned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Indeed, some people sometimes notice the appearance of small white or reddish spots on their skin, making their tan uneven. Dr. Sandra Lee, an American dermatologist, explained in a short TikTok video the cause of this condition and how to treat it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--nextpage--><span dir=\"auto\">Our skin is home to thousands of tiny bacteria that require careful attention: the \u201cskin microbiome.\u201d However, these microscopic bacteria can sometimes cause problems, especially when we sunbathe. If you notice small white or reddish spots after sunbathing, it could be a condition called\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><em><span dir=\"auto\">tinea versicolor<\/span><\/em><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0\u00a0or\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><em><span dir=\"auto\">pityriasis versicolor<\/span><\/em><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0.<\/span><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">According to Dr. Lee, the yeasts living on our skin thrive\u00a0<\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0in warm, humid environments<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0. This makes it a veritable playground for them in the summer! Some of these yeasts can proliferate and manifest as small spots on the skin.\u00a0 While\u00a0<\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">asymptomatic and harmless<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0, they can prevent the skin from tanning in certain areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">Easy to treat, sometimes a simple cream is all it takes. According to the dermatologist, you should look for products containing\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><strong><span dir=\"auto\">clotrimazole or miconazole<\/span><\/strong><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0. In more extreme cases, the expert recommends consulting a dermatologist, who can prescribe more intensive treatments.
