Hey Michael....I don't see that a tanning bed would help at all. You would get sweaty in it, which could lead to HS activity. You were also worried about HS causing cancer, which I am sure it doesn't, but UV rays do??? I have always wondered if a hot tub would be a good thing. I would think the heat would open and clean your pores. I would always prefer a saltwater hot tub, over one with chemicals!

Yes Camille I think it would open your pores!

Bon Bon- a hot tub sounds great too!!!

I’m with Baz on this- definitely stay away from tanning!!

When I tan, it seems to get a little bit better. (This could just be because being tan, I can't see them as well LOL MIND GAMES!!) But I do NOT use heavy oils and shower right after. I also really exfoliate well and that seems to help.
