I applied Deriva CMS on my face, but I forgot to wash it off and then went out into the sun. Now my skin has gotten darker. Could this be because of the cream or the sunlight? What should I do to fix it?

I've been dealing with this weird reaction tiny itchy red bumps after using fast relief on my left knee. So I switched to Volini spray, but it gave me rashes on my right leg. Any idea what's causing these skin issues? And do you know of a pain relief ointment that's maybe a bit gentler or less allergenic? I've been applying aloe gel to soothe the rashes and the bumps have gotten better, but the itching is still really bothering me. What can I do about it?
