Brief Answer:
Looks like urticaria, antihistaminic & calamine lotion
Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it looks like urticaria which is an allergic reaction to insect bites, food, any infection in the body or can occur without any cause.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet levocetrizine 5 mg twice daily and apply calamine lotion on the affected areas twice daily for 7-10 days.
This should subside it.
