they are all right is it a rash of some sort. But you do understand that most allergic reactions do the same thing. The only way to know for sure is to see an allergist or to wait for the rash to stop then put the lotion in a small circle in one spot if the rash matches it, then you know that you are allergic to that.
And btw anyone that has one allergy is practically guaranteed to be getting new ones as the grow older it is natural

A friend of mine just told me about her daugther who is allergic to sun block. Appeartly, it is the paba that she is allergic too. She said the only thing she can use is Mary Kay. She also informed me that it is not always listed on a sun block whether paba is one of the ingredients. Anyway, she said that in her daughter and in her friend's kid it starts as a behaviorial reaction. I guess the kid acts horribly behaved to an extreme for the first 12-24 hours and then her face gets swollen like a basketball. This is the reaction of a child---I don't know if adults have the behaviorial stuff going on. However, the more you are exposed to an allergen the worse your symptoms get, so be careful. I hope this kind of helped. I am not speaking for experience just from a conversation I had last night.

A little red rash wherever you put it. My husband is allergic to the ingredient PABA, so if you try some PABA-free products that might help. There are lots of them available.

probably a rash or a red spot where you put the block. Tell your doctor and discontinue use until you know if you have a reaction to it.

usually the allergic reaction varies in any kind of way, but if it comes to sunblock i guess it would usually effect the skin in some kind of way like a rash or anything else skin related.

A rash - itchy & burning rash.
