What should i use for sunscreen allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different sunscreen: Look for a sunscreen which has different ingredients. Reactions to sunscreen can be to the active ingredients or to other ingredients such as fragrance. Some sunscreens contain zinc oxide which is often a good alternative. Patch testing by an allergist or dermatologist can help identify the causative ingredient.
