Hi. As per your case history you are having photolichenoid eczema with hypo pigmentation. My treatment advice is - 1. Avoid sun exposure and use a good sunscreen lotion with spf more than 30. 2. Apply a mild topical steroid cream like mometasone cream on the lesions twice daily. 3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine for itching. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral steroid taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
