They seem like eczematous in nature. Do you have associated symptoms, like itching? If yes, how severe?

Brief Answer:
Hives

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Ok, so it is most likely Hives / Urticaria. Hives are evanescent, they last for a few hours and may reappear. I suggest you to take an Oral antihistamine e.g. Cetirizine or Levocetirizine tablet once every day in evening for a few days. Topically you may use a soothing lotion to calm down the itching.

Take care. Thank you.
