Hi,
This does seem to be an allergic break-out.It comes under the category of physical allergy.Physical allergies are allergic reactions to cold, sunlight, heat, or minor injury.
Certain drugs  are capable of sensitizing the skin to sunlight. The result is phototoxicity, which appears as an increased sensitivity to sunlight or as localized skin rashes on sun-exposed areas.
Sunlight, even without drugs, causes immediate urticaria in some people. Shade and sunscreens are necessary. The reaction can usually be controlled with OTC antihistamines or cortisone-like drugs.
Itching can be controlled with cold packs or commercial topical agents that contain menthol, camphor, eucalyptus oil, aloe, antihistamines, or cortisone preparations.
