Hello,
Rash after sun exposure takes time to go away. I suggest you not to bleach it till it fades away as the chemicals in the bleach might cause further irritation. Rather you can start using sunscreen lotion with SPF40 and above depending on the area you live in. Also if you are not sure of using which sunscreen or ointment then consult a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
