It didn't help any. This discoloring has now taken its course to my entire back. Sounds like you have tinea versicolor,a noncontagious fungus which grows on the chest and back of young people and makes the skin color temporarily lighter or darker. Even after you kill all the fungus, the color change can hang around for months. The fungus is not from the tanning salon.
Tanning just makes the discoloration more obvious.
