Hi there young man....
Thanks for the clear pic.
Off the cuff this appears to be a condition we allude to as PMLE or light eruption.
It fits in with the history provided as well and is aggravated by ☀️ exposure.
You will require to use a Sunscreen 🧴 from dawn to dusk and preferably a blocking agent containing Zinc Oxide.
You may also benefit from the use of a topical mild to moderate steroid cream in the evening as spot application for a few days
For this prescription and any further detailed information and discussions, do connect ONLINE using this App's INSTANT ONLINE Consultation for a quick resolution 🙏
Cheers & Good Luck 🍀
