Brief Answer:
To rule out cancer of the skin please.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
A bit of detailed history and photograph would have helped me for a better diagnosis. You can attach a photograph with this query.

The probable diagnosis as you say is exposure to sun.
You may please apply a cream containing steroids like clobetasol once a day. Please take multivitamins to support early healing.
Watch for 3 weeks maximum, it would be wise to get such spots checked to rule out a skin cancer if healing is not there.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
