A member asked:
I've got an allergic reaction which seems to be related to sun or sunscreen. it shows up as a rash on the back of my hands. what can you recommend to prevent it?

Change sunscreen: If this sunscreen is giving you issues, change to another one. If the rash is still there, you need to take some antihistamines to curb the allergic reaction.

Do not use it!: Obviously but look at the ingredients and try another cream and if the same reaction occurs match the offending ingredient.
