“Can sunblock cause an itchy face?”
My family has a history of skin cancer, and I usually use a ton of sunblock whenever I'm outside. But my face has been really itchy lately. Can sunblock cause my face to be itchy?

Consider zinc oxide sunscreen if you have sensitive skin (same stuff in diaper cream). If it persists consider seeing a board certified dermatologist to evaluate.
Absolutely. You can be allergic or sensitive to anything. My recommendation for all sorts of reasons is to try a zinc or titanium based sunscreen with an SPF of 30 and one that is approved by the Environmental Working Group. They tend to be less irritating.
Sure, so try a different brand and make sure your face is not irritated when applied.
Yes if you are allergic to any of the the ingredients or have become sensitized to them
