Hi
According to your complaints it seems to be either photodermatitis or seborrhoeic dermatitis.
I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of a sunscreen during the day time.
Also take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime.
Regards
