Hi,
Thanks for writing in.


The condition you are describing can be photodermatitis.
Effective oral and topical medications are now available for photodermatitis .

My advise to you would be to use topical hydrocortisone cream with good moisturizer.

Sun exposure can aggravate photodermatitis.Keeping the sunprotection is important to treat hyperpigmentation. Use sunscreen with SPF 50.


Consult a good dermatologist who can provide you with these options along with effective oral prescription medicines.

Hope this helps.
Regards
