Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it is looking like urticaria.
It usually occurs as an allergic reaction to any infection in the body, drugs or food items.
I usually treat it with antihistaminics like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 4-5 days. This usually resolves it.
In case it doesn't settle or recurs you need to consult a doctor and get yourself evaluated to find the cause of urticaria.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
