Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I would keep a possibility of Urticaria/hives. They are pale to red, edematous patches, irregular in shape, itchy and are evanescent (sudden onset and usually last for only a few hours).
Causes are food, drugs, infection, environmental allergens(pollen, dust, mites etc).
Treatment is oral antihistamines e.g cetrizine syp once or twice daily for a week.
topical soothing lotion e.g calamine can be applied locally,
