Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from allergic dermatitis.
It is an allergic reaction of skin to a particular thing to which you came in contact with.
In your case sunlight may be the factor.
Please apply a steroid cream like fluticasone.
Also take an antihistamine tablet.
This will give you relief.
A photograph would have helped me in giving a closer diagnosis.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
