Sun irritation

Took LG (15 months) the drs today as she has developed an angry red rash / blisters across her face and arms. Nurse advised this was likely to be 'juvenile spring eruption' and caused by a reaction to the sun. One of her advisories was a high factor, sensitive sunscreen. Please can you share your recommendations for suitable suncreams? Also, if anyone's else DC suffer with this, any tips of managing it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Just bumping this thread for you, @justwingingit01- hopefully some MNers will be along soon with some advice.

@justwingingit01 given the gender - female - and the location - arms - it is more likely to be polymorphous light eruption.

You can try decrease your DD sensitivity with a diet high in carotene (pumpkin, carrots, kale) and lycopene (cooked tomatoes or give her tomato paste) .

Have you been given anything for the rash?
