Could a small black dot on a toe that your not born with be a disease?
It's possible it could be skin cancer. I had a small black dot removed from my bikini area yesterday (first-ever appt with a dermatologist) that the doctor was worried about, I won't know what's up til next Weds. Not to worry you, sorry - but get it looked at by a dermatologist or at least a general doctor. I know someone who had a few small black dots on her leg and it turned out to be melanoma - the deadliest skin cancer, but treatable if caught early. There are free traveling skin cancer screenings May through October - check the skincancer - dot - org site, and there are free screenings at certain doctors this month - check the American Academy of Dermatology site (you can search by state). GL!
What lotions to use while tanning?
Regular lotions will help your skin in the matter of keeping it moisturized, which is vital to keep your skin healthy while tanning. However, most tanning salons do not allow anything on the skin but tanning lotions as regular lotions can damage the plates on the tanning beds. My advice to you would be to get a tanning lotion, which will have everything you need to get a deep and dark tan while keeping your skin as damage-free as possible and not ruining the tanning beds.
What are the human activities that have transformed the biosphere?
