Hi tagtag

I think you are taking all the correct precautions to try and prevent further sun damage by wearing a hat with a wide brim and suncream every day. The sun damaged area will become reddened with heat no matter what you do. Most cosmetics have UV sun protection so masking with these is an option.  Eucerin is very good quality but unnecessarily expensive, any good branded SPF 30 to 50 suncream will do the task just as well. Calypso and Nivea are highly rated brands that wont break the bank. Don't forget to protect your lips. UV levels are now (April)  creeping above 4 in UK which can easily burn fair skin. Im currently using Ufudix on multiple AK sites and it is a misery as you say. Im also receiving immunotherapy for advanced metastatic skin cancer so am acutely aware of the importance of protecting skin. Enjoy the coming summer safely.
