Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
From your description sun allergy is suggested. Even though, the images would be of help to say it for sure.
Mild cases of sun allergy may clear up without treatment. More severe cases may be treated with steroid creams or pills. People who have a severe sun allergy may need to take preventive measures and wear sun-protective clothing.
Hope the information will help,
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
