Itchy Blisters Under The Forearms Due To Sunlight Exposure. Using Fucidin Cream. Suggestions?

I have clusters of blisters underneath my forearms and along the sides if my arms caused by the sun. It is not prickly heat and the blisters are weepy and itchy. This happens eveytime we get hot weather. I am using anit histimene and fucidin cream but not helping much. Can you advise me what to use. Doctor in Spain gave me Dacortin 30mg last year but don t know if I should be using this.
