Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
According to your complaints you seem to have heat or sun allergy.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply sunscreen lotion on the entire exposed areas during day time along with antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime for 2-3 weeks.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
