Hello,

i am allergic to anything with SPF in it, includes make up etc.More and more i find that a lot of skin care has SPF in it. But mores the point what can I use to protect my skin against the sun. I have to be very careful. I take Azathiroprine as I have Behcets Disease and this medication does not encourage me to go into direct sunlight.

what are your thoughts please

thank you

Hi there,
Have you been patch tested? You need to see a dermatologist to arrange a testing called photo-patch testing. They can work out which exact SPF product you are allergic to and then you can avoid this product. Alternatively, have you tried a purely physical sunscreen?
