Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

For sun allergy there has to be a history of long intense sun exposure. Also does this rash itch? Have you experienced this rash ever or do you have this rash anywhere else on your body apart from your face? You could start applying a steroidal cream on the rash twice a day for at least 5 to 6 days along with using mild face cleansers. I suggest you also get your rash reviewed by the concerned doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
