Can you get suncream for LOs with eczema on prescription?

I have done a search for threads on good suncreams for eczema and seen this mentioned once or twice, but the threads were quite old. Has anyone had it prescribed recently? And does anyone know what kind of suncream it is?

DS's eczema flares up in the heat so not sure if I should keep him out of the sun altogether or slap on some SPF50...

Hi
This factsheet on sunscreens and Eczema from the National Eczema Society might be of help: www.eczema.org/sunscingred07.pdf
It looks like GPs will only prescribe for specific eczema related conditions. Good luck!
