    I have been diagnosed with celiac, and have had outbreaks of dh on my forehead for about 2 years now. I do use a cream from my doc that minimizes the outbreaks. However, this past weekend I used coppertone sunscreen and my forehead now has a huge dh breakout. Could this be just from the heat of the sun, or is the coppertone sunscreen a culprit? I though...
