Hi,

Welcome to HCM and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

Your solar graphia is actually a problem of photo-dermatitis for which you are getting allergic reaction in sunlight exposure.

Our human skin is a multi-layered structure and it has tendency to wear and tear repeatedly on exposure to environmental factors.

In certain situation when the exposure of the environmental factor is too high then the skin has the tendency to get red and itchy. These red areas appear as mild to moderate eruptions on exposed areas of body which are known as PMLE. simply saying sun burns.

I would like to suggest you some more of remedies:

1) SUN PROTECTION: by sun protection in form of proper covering and clothing. You must wear full sleeves clothes and gloves along with a hat every time you move out in sun.

2) Sunscreens: These do help but not as completely as covering body by clothes. Even then whenever the sunscreen is used- it should be used half an hour before going out as it requires 30 minutes to get activated.

3) A LOT OF VITAMIN A and LYCOPENE IN DIET: Vitamin A plays a very important n role in sun protection. It along with certain antioxidants in our diet of fruits helps us best in reducing the damage of sun light. SO I suggest you to have lot vitamin A and lycopene in diet. You should eat all fruits as well papaya, tomatoes and beat root containing these things in plenty.

4) You can also have the antioxidant capsule but follow a good diet as the main part.

Your tendency of sun burn will decrease slowly and might take multiple of months to get better form internally, so have patience as well best of measure as suggested above.

I hope these informations will help you.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
