Hi,

It may be due to eczema or dermatitis or photosensitivity at the sun exposed areas etc.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Don't apply skin irritants locally. Apply skin guard to protect from UV rays.

Please consult your dermatologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
