Me too, and one of my daughters. I have to wear gloves to put it on my other children.
May I suggest that you see a dermatologist regularly. I'm a redhead who grew up before sunscreen and suffered numerous sunburns. The damage was done and now I need to be checked regularly for skin cancer. Also had an aunt who died from melanoma. Don't want to scare anyone but just be aware.
Count me in this camp, at 39 I started having small cancers and precancerous moles removed. They make special UV clothing and hats that help. You might also check with a derm as there are different sunscreen ingredients and maybe theres one you are not allergic to.

Beth, all covered in scars! :)
