Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.
You seem to be having sensitivity to sun.
Before going out in the sun apply a broad spectrum sunscreen on the exposed body parts and repeat it after every 3 hours during the day time.
Also take antioxidants containing beta carotene once daily.
If you still complain of burning on the skin apply a topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily for 7-10 days.
These measures will help in improving your condition.
