I started tanning at Darque Tan a couple months ago, and after about the first month, I noticed little white spots all over my body. The staff told me to use lotions and I did, and the spots did not go away. Finally I went to see a doctor and he told me that the white spots were FUNGUS from the tanning beds not being cleaned properly. Furthermore, the medication for it is not covered by insurance and is over $60 per bottle. I contacted Darque Tan customer service and asked them to kindly refund me for the tans, at which point the rep told me that white spots are NORMAL, and that everyone gets them. I told them they are not normal and I would fax the information from my doctor and they continued to tell me the spots are not their fault. I have tanned for over 5 years and have never had any issue with fungus from tanning beds. They still have yet to refund me anything and the issue is still unresolved.
