Brief Answer:
Eczematous rash or photodermatitis, topical steroid & antihistaminic

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It could be eczematous rash or photodermatitis.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet levocetirizine 5 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching for 2 weeks.
These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.

I hope to have answered your query and would be happy to answer any further queries.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet
