Hi,

It may be lichen urticatus. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. After thorough examination and investigations,your doctor would give a course of oral steroid and antihistaminic like hydroxyzine HCL syrup.
Apply mild steroid cream on the lesios. As the disease is hypersensitivity to the insects, avoid the insect bites.

Hope this helps.
