Does anyone else have eczema that reacts to sun?

A MyEczemaTeam Member asked a question 💭
Vancouver, BC

How do you deal with this? I use really high SPF sunscreen and that helps a bit but finding it not as effective now as my skin still flares up, especially on my face and neck into itchy, red, cracked and weepy patches.
So uncomfortable! Makes summers really tough.

Mine starts anywhere that's itchy to begin with, so sunburn that peels starts it big time. Also insect bites get it going. Anytime I'm rubbing or scratching, the eczema starts there.
