sunscreen

Everytime I put it on, no matter what brand, I break out into hives. I’ve also tried the hypoallergenic ones too, same results. I work as a lifeguard so I can’t afford not to use sunscreen.

I still have hives and I can’t stop scratching; I’m ALSO allergic to the cream that helps hives D: so in the end, I break out even more. :(

What to doooo?

It might sound crazy but try to find one based with hippo sweat. I swear you can’t find anything better and its not the same as the chemical based ones and it works alot better. I’m not lying, look it up if you don’t believe me. If the natural option don’t work I’m stupmed.

You need to go to your clinic and request an allergy panel, and tell them about your suspected allergy to creams and sunscreen. You may also want to bring in the bottle so you can show the ingredients, if it can help. They’ll apply small amounts of several different things to your skin so you can pinpoint what exactly you’re allergic to. That way you can find sunscreens and creams without that ingredient.

Go to the dermatologist and they can help you find something you can use and run tests. Have an allergy test done, it may be just a single ingredient.
