Dermatologist,  's  Response
The most probable diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is papular urticaria or insect bite hypersensitivity.You should try to use mosquito nets as much as possible. Topical mild steroid cream like mometasone over the affected area may help. If itching is too troublesome then antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used after consulting your dermatologist.
