General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Are these rashes in sun exposed areas? If so, then it could be photodermatitis, an allergic condition due to sunlight. Apply some lactocalamine lotion on the part and keep it dry. You can take cetrizine at night before you sleep if it's itching much. Use full sleeves or umbrella while going out in the sun.
