A 23-year-old dental nurse was left with horrific burns on her legs after applying tanning oil during a holiday.
The mother purchased Home Bargains tanning oil in Springburn, Glasgow and went on a holiday in Fuerteventura with her partner and son.
When she applied Home Bargains tanning oil on her legs, she was left with red rashes and now she is left with horrific burns on her legs.
The mother is now scared the burns will leave a permanent scar on her legs.
She told The Scottish Sun: “I bought the spray in February. I applied it 40 minutes before sun exposure.”
“I used it as a suntan lotion, it was like factor 15. I think I must have had some sort of reaction.”
When she went out in the sun, her legs started itching and burning after three hours and turned red.
When she tried a cold shower, it made the rashes worse.
She added: “I’m worrying in case it’s going to scar. My main concern is I will need to get tattoos to hide it.”
She criticized Home Bargains for selling such a harmful product. She said though it was cheap, they shouldn’t be selling it as it has made her legs a mess.
The nurse said she has now lost her confidence as people were staring at her at the airport.
The stares made her lose her confidence and she felt self-conscious.
She said: “I had people staring at me at the airport, which was annoying. It made me feel self-conscious. I’ve never had anything like this. My skin’s not sensitive.”
The mum said she just wants them to go away as they are a mess and have turned purple now.
She said: “I just want something to make this go away. My legs are a mess just now. It’s still really itchy. It’s gone purple now.”
