Rash after being in the sun

2018-09-15 16:53:50
I’m currently on holiday and have developed a patchy red rash. I got this in the same place last year also. It’s not sore, hot or itchy but I don’t understand what it is.

It's photo dermatitis. Apply lactocalamine lotion on it. Use sunscreen from next time.
