Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms looks like contact dermatitis or some insect bite.
If you are allergic to any of the chemicals,metals or detergents may also cause similar complaints.
Physical examination is required before coming to diagnosis.
Based on the cause treatment can be decided.
Hope i am able to clarify the doubts you had.
Thank you.
