I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.It is nothing to worry about, it is the common reaction of the sun light because of longer duration of exposure.I suggest you to apply common sunscreen lotion available at homeYou can also take cetrizine and prednisolone tablet under your doctors guidance. This will clear up the reaction immediately.Please in future apply sunscreen lotion on the exposing part before you go on the sun.
