Hello,
I'm looking for some advice on suncreams that are less likely to cause allergy in a 2 year old. Last year all child-friendly off the shelf suncreams we tried gave her awful rashes, then prickly heat, followed by eczema... she spent the summer covered in long sleeves and trousers and in the shade :( the only thing she could tolerate on her face hands and feet was my fearfully expensive La Roche face one. Even Child's Farm was a no.
With the lovely Easter weather this weekend DD has been in the garden and again I put La Roche on her and her poor little face the next day - hot, red cheeks and forehead where the sun cream had been applied, now a spotty, blotchy rash. What am I to do?
I've ordered an organic one from the brand Jason but it's not arrived yet. GP just says keep out of the sun and use Aveeno cream until it's cleared up.
Any advice/recommendations much appreciated!
