Hello,
thanks for the query.
You might be suffering from scabies.
Another possibility is urticaria.
I would like to see the lesions to give a closer diagnosis.
Please upload a photograph of the lesion.
There is an option to upload photographs on the right side of query page.
I would also like to know which anti itch cream you have used.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you
