You can use some Bag Balm on affected areas. There are sunscreens made specifically for pigs and livestock but you can also use a high SPF sunscreen for humans. Sullivan's Sun Guard is a popular sunscreen for pigs. Provide plenty of shade when she is outside or avoid going outside during the hottest part of the day.
