Hello,

I've inferred you are suffering from photo contact dermatitis/eczema. You need to follow this advice for your problem

1. Avoid sun exposure as much possible as u can. in cases where u cant avoids at all use a SUNSCREEN like ZnO paste which acts as a physical barrier from the UV rays and protects you from UVA rays in addition to UVB.

2. Apply a mixture of moderately potent steroids like betamethasone 50% and white soft petrolatum50% all over the affected areas of the body, twice daily for one month.

3. Keep ur body moisturized with an intensely hydrating moisturizing lotion like any urea-based moisturizing lotion.use throughout the day for one month.

4. Use dove soap .avoid using any antibacterial soaps

5. Avoid all kinds of airborne allergens, like stay away from farms, pets and dust.

6. Take Loratidine 10mg, once at night daily for 10 days.
