How to get ride of rash from sunscreen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sunscreen rash: is most likely due to the PABA content. Avoiding PABA containing sunscreens and cosmetics in the future may help future rashes. Hydrocortisone, available over the counter, often helps resolve these types of hypersensitivity reactions.
