Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
I understand from your query that you are having polymorphic light eruption.
The mainstay of treatment for this is avoidance of sunlight.
Use a broad spectrum sunscreen every 4 hours irrespective of whether it is raining/ cloudy/ winter months.
Cover yourself with full sleeved clothing and wear a broad rimmed hat. Carry an umbrella. These measures will help you prevent new eruptions.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
