Okay, my little cousin is about 3-4 years old, because he burns when he goes into the sun we put sun screen on him. But when we did he broke out into a rash where we put the sunscreen.
We have tried every type of sun screen that is out there, even the ones for babies. He still breaks out into a rash.
Has any one had this happen to them, or someone they know?
What can you do besides, keep him covered?
Should we talk to a doctor?
Answer:YES you should talk to a doctor. Sounds like he is not only allergic to the sun but apparently has issues with the sun screen. He can take medicine orally that will help him
go to a doctor, but this lady i know is allergic to sunscreen as well and I can't remember what she has to use, either noxema or an avon brand but noxema sticks in my head, it will make you white though as it doenst have all them chemicals in there
He could be allergic to certain types. Try sunscreen that is "PABA-Free"
Yes, take him to the doctor. He could be allergic to the sunscreen, allergic to the sun, or getting overheated by the sun because the sunblock is clogging his pores.
