hello deepika and welcome to health care magic.
sensitive skin has many types which may not interest you.
Sunscreens usually are not the sensitizers but it is the preservatives and additions that cause reactions to face. small pimples may be seen in a few people using sunscreens but the decision to stop weighs on the reason why you had been advised sunscreen.
Its a tricky situation.
decide with clarity.
thank you and wish you good luck.
