Suncream query

Does anyone get suncream on prescription? I have to wear factor 50+ all the time because I'm on Mercaptopurine and I wondered if anyone gets it on prescription as it's very expensive and I have a pre-pay certificate anyway so could save myself some money.

Thanks

I just buy my own.I got 3 tubes of Roc soleil protection 50 + off amazon £21. And you only need a bit.

Is it a sticky one? Or does it absorb in well?

[CONSTANTGUTACHE in reply to Hidden]

Not sticky but you have to be careful a little goes a long way

NHS have recently issued a list of items that will no longer be prescribed because they are cheaper to buy over the counter. I'm pretty sure sun cream was on the list! The info was on the noticeboard in my surgery.

yes, I've heard of this happening, I suppose the best thing for me to do will be to ask my own GP Surgery of their policy, thank you
