Hi i think u are suffering from acute urticaria.it is due to allergens like food.dyes or insect stings.first rule out any allergens.then use of atarax 25 mg at night.alaspan tablet in the morning and application of calamine lotion can cure the disease.if no response within 15 days go for oral steriods for a shorter period
