Brief Answer:
Cortisone cream, sunscreen

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It seems to be sun poisoning.
would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal use of a broad spectrum sunscreen on sun exposed parts during the day time.
This will resolve the rashes.
