Question:
I’m not sure where you live Jo but if there is a Publix there, ask the pharm to order it. They order it here in Florida for my husband. If that fails, I’ll be at Mayo Clinic on the 25th and could pick some up for you. Email me. DianeW

Bain de Soil is one of them and the other I just found this year is made by Mayo Clinic. You should be able to get your pharm to order it for you. Its base is a cream called Vanicream and the sunscreen comes in 15 and 30 and is totally non allergenic. Vanicream is a base that dermototogists use to compound meds. DianeW dee tee, sun screen often makes my skin burn and sting as though i have a sunburn. that may be part of your problem. diane and her 2 cents I’m with you on that. I’ve had a terrible time finding a sunscreen that I can tolerate. I have only tried the special non-allergic ones. Particularly for my face. Last week my daughter got me one from Clinique that I’ve used once without problems but haven’t given it a real trial yet. Also, for those that are sun sensitive due to meds or disease, does a block really do the trick? I could swear I’ve had reactions even when using a block and sun poison without sunburn. — Jo Firey

Every time I step outside in the daytime, owwwwwwww! Hie thee to a Walgreens. Tell the druggist you want to buy a bottle of "ST-37." It will cost you about $10.00 for a pint sized bottle of the stuff but it, as the druggist should agree, is the greatest treatment for sunburn on the planet. Doesn’t sting, doesn’t stain sheets or clothing. Is a wonderful antiseptic. Susan and I wouldn’t be without a bottle of it in our medicine cabinet. — Be Well, Larry

Y’know, I think you’re right. Even when I use sunscreen, I can get burned. I have used sunscreen since I was first diagnosed with rosacea a few eons ago. — DeeTee and Bob Taggart http://home.earthlink.net/~bdtaggart/DC/DC.html

Response:
{{{{{DeeTee}}}}}, Ughhhh…sunburn/poisoning are awful I know. A couple of aspirin will help take the ‘fever’ out of the skin. A cool soak in an oatmeal bath will help with the itchies. Aloe is wonderfully healing and soothing. Cool compresses soaked in Domesboro solution will help with itching, peeling and healing. Wish I could help more. Sending prayers and positive thoughts that you are feeling ‘normal’ again quickly! Be well, Patty

Keep your face inside, too 
IF you must go out, wear a big wide brimmed hat. It may not be a fashion statement, but could save you some grief. And see your doctor about it. Feel better soon sugar. Char "Remember, I’m pulling for ya’. We’re all in this together." Red Green

Dee Tee, I know what you mean, and found a thing that works real good. Go to www.dermadoctor.com and look into the Total Block. It makes a foundation for your loverly face and you can mix it to your skin tone. Then they make a Sun Block that is clear and does not stain for the neck or for that matter use it on your pretty face too. I use oil of olay first, smooth and then apply one of the other above. It stops those nasty sun rays and patches from forming on your face or neck. It is a little expensive, about $22.00 for 2 ounces but it is Total Block at 65 and I think it is great. I have lupus and the rheumy told me about this stuff. I know some people believe that suncreen or block over 30 is worthless, I think not. I should know being a red head, and with lupus that is 2 points not in my favor. You can also go to your search engine and put in Total Block…that would get you right into the main site to buy it also. So clear up that nasty itch and patches now then get some of this stuff. Plus wear a pretty hat. janers
