Is it okay to have fake tan for sensitive skin / eczema?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be fine: If you have severe, poorly controlled eczema I would avoid self tanners. If you have milder eczema with only occasional flares I would test out the self tanner on a small area of your skin first to see if you have a bad reaction to it. Should be fine. For poorly controlled eczema occasional sunlight can actually be beneficial, however in moderation due to risks of skin cancer.
