Every summer the same thing happens when I put suncream on my daughter! She ends up with really bad itchy skin like eczma, does anyone know a suncream that is for very sensitve skin?

Doctor won't give anything unless they have a serious skin condition.

One of the little ones in our family has an allergy to lanolin... (found in suncreams) the only way we could stop her from reacting was to use something called "spectroban" on her, it's like an oil than sinks into the skin... it comes in most factors (we use factor 25 on her) she doesn't react to it as it is not cream based and has no lanolin in it whatsoever.
hope this helped
best of luck

One of the ingredients commonly found in sunscreens does tend to cause allergic reactions. We had the same issue with my daughter a couple of years ago. I believe the doctor told us PABA could be a problem, but I'm not sure. She suggested that we put sunscreen on her but keep her out of the sun that day (but have Benadryl on hand if she did have a reaction). It turned out for her that it wasn't the sunscreen causing her hives. She'd been out in the Florida sun all day for a few days (a trip to Orlando to the theme parks) and the sun caused her reaction.
So ask your doctor if there's a particular ingredient you should avoid.

Try asking your doctor. They should be able to recommend if not prescribe something for her in the way of suncream.

It could be the perfume in the suntan lotion. Simple make a suntan lotion with no perfume, its a little bit more expensive than normal, but it is for very sensitive skin, i have had this problem myself, also suntan cream does go off, it only usually lasts a few months.
