Hello,
You have not mentioned your age. You could be having polymorphic light eruption, which is an allergy to UV rays of the sun. Always use a broad spectrum sunscreen every 3 hours during day time. A mild topical steroid cream at bed time for 5-10 days will be useful.vitamins and calcium have no role in this problem.
Hope this hoped.
Take care.
