eczema and suncream
can anyone recommend a suncream to use as my 4 yr old daughter has bad eczema on her arms but needs suncream as she doesn't like to cover her arms when it is too hot as it gets itchy.
we have tried simple, banana boat both aggrevated it and made it worse.

Re: eczema and suncream
Hi Try Sunsence Ultra. They are great help on the phone and should be able to send you a sample to try. Due to further issues than straight eczema this is what our dermatologist prescribes. It suits both my childrens eczema skin and a couple of friends who also suffer with eczema. It is factor 50 but is great as does not leave that thick white grease on the skin. If you choose to try it I'd certainly say it is worth trying. But every eczema skin is different. Keep us posted as I am sure many will be asking this question with summer onit's way.

Re: eczema and suncream
Hello
I second the SunSense recommendation!
We have been using SunSense Sensitive cream and SunSense toddler milk. And so far neither seem to have made the eczema worse... They are more expensive but worth it if it stops them from being uncomfortable. Hope it works for you.
