Hi, thanks for posting the query
You are suffering from sun burns, you have not mentioned whether you are still having sunexposure, and the duration for which you have used momate lotion.however the following may be of help:
Avoid sunexposure as much as possible
when ever you are in sun apply a sunscreen with high spf like50+, as your skin is sensitive to sun rays, repeat it every three hours (effect lasts for roughly three-four hours after application)
You can apply momate lotion for a few days and as the rashes come down shift to milder one like hydrocortisone and stop it once the rashs go away.
Apply a moisturiser as per your need twice or thrice a day
oral antioxidants aand beta carotene prepration once a day
contact a dermatologist to rule out other causes of rash
Hope this helps you
