Dermatologist 's  Response
The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is polymorphic light eruptions.Since the lesions have a tendency to aggrevate on sun exposure you must apply a sunscreen regularly before you go out. Oral anti oxidants can also be used. If itching is persistent then oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used. Regards
