Hi,
It seems to be solar urticaria.
It is an allergic reaction to sun rays.
I would recommend you to apply sunscreen lotion on affected areas during the day time and apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
