hives and sunscreen
by Jeannie0008, May 28, 2008 09:46AM
Hi,
My 9 year old girl broke out in severe hives this weekend. After using antihistime it's better but she keeps flaring up. My doctor said it was the sunblock. What might be the main ingredient that is causing the reaction???. I would like to narrow it down, so we can avoid it in the future??? Thanks

At this point, it may be hard to delineate a particular ingredient which may be causing your child's skin condition. If an allergic reaction to the sunblock is being considered it is best to avoid using this. There are hypoallergenic brands in the market and you may opt to use them instead. You may apply a small part in a small area of the forearm or behind the ears before using it on larger areas.
