My youngest daughter is allergic to UVA. The worst reaction she has had was to come out in blisters all over her face (looks like scalds) and dry excema(sp) on her back and all her joints. This also make her more sensitive to anything that has fragrances in it.

She has to wear a complete block for both UVA and UVB and a hat. She has suffered from this since she was two years old and does not seem to be growing out of it.

I'm the same, Wendy.

Used to be able to go out in the sun when I was in my teens and 20s, but then started to get problems.

Now I can't go out in it at all. I just come up in a rash and if I use sun tan stuff it is worse because I seem to have become allergic to it.

Sun isn't good for you anyway ........ I work in Dermatology now and unfortunately all the sun worshipping we do when we are younger causes horrific problems when we get older.

So with the knowledge I have now, I've decided to stay pale :thumbsup:

Can I be a member of the Indoor Club? I have red (and grey) hair & freckles too. I always used to be hidden under silly hats when I was a kid. I did burn very easily but as I've got older i don't burn so much but dont get a tan either, I just turn pink :b mmm very attractive :lol:

As I spend most of the summer outside at agility shows I have an assortment of hats as too much sun makes my head thump & my eyes start watering.

Still want a nice summer tho... 8)

Children's sunblock is good, I got a rash last May on my chest (very itchy) went to doctors he said it was a reaction to the sun!

Ive never had it before or since and it went in about 4 days!!!

Went Florida Last year and it didn't come back, no idea what caused it! :unsure:

I did get some cheap factor 30 from B&M Bargains for 99p called Australian factor 30 for kids, it seemed to work for me.

Also I have read that if you gradually limit your time in the sun from a few mins upwards you can start to build up a resistance to the UV rays, but remember it has to be gradual.

Dont know if this helps but though I would share :huggles:

Hope you dont have too much of an indoor summer, like you say think of your skin :thumbsup:
