Small, red pinhead likenrashes which seem to be deeply embedded in skin. The rash cannot be felt by running our hand across it.

I'm dealing with 90% vitiligo and it seems like even a minute in the sun makes my skin turn red, itchy, and it feels like a sunburn. If my skin's wet, the sunburn gets really bad and blisters start forming. I'm worried about this and would love your advice on what medication I might need. What can I do to help with this?
