Suncream for eczema

[AngelDog]

15 m.o. DS has eczema on his face & hands, usually red & bumpy. We use Diprobase ointment on it, and antibiotics/steroids when the GP thinks necessary.

What suncream can I use which is least likely to irritate it? So far, Diprobase cream, Dermol and emulsifying ointment have all been slightly irritating for his skin.

The Eczema Society has a very good list PDF here on their websites of suncreams that are free from the most common irritants, as with all things eczema-related you may have to try a few before finding one that suits his skin. We use Banana Boat for DS1 with no problems.

Thanks - that's a useful link.

Proderm sun mousse. Its sold in Boots, it's been specially formulated for children with eczema.

Yes, definitely Proderm sun mousse; slightly cheaper in Amazon.
