A member asked:
Could i wear makeup on top of a photosensitivity allergic reaction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad idea: Once skin has been damaged by an allergic reaction the top barrier of dead skin, which normally normally acts as a protectant, is gone making the development of new sensitivities more likely to occur. Gentle cleansing is suggested until healing occurs. Cetaphil wash or vancream soap is suggested.
