These symptoms are suggestive of photosensitivity that is sun allergy. But there are many types of sun allergies. It is necessary to diagnose the type of sun allergy and accordingly take treatment. Strict photo protection is necessary. Apply a good quality medicated physical sunscreen on the exposed parts of body at least twice that is around 8am and 1pm and cover the exposed area of face and hands before leaving out. Avoid outdoor activities between 11am to 4pm if possible.
