Brief Answer:
Possibility of urticaria

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Perhaps you have urticaria/hives. I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg tablet once a day in evening. In addition I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion. In case you develop it next time I suggest you to kindly upload a few images and upload in "Reports Section" so that I am able to guide you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
