Hi i think it is acute urticaria due to cloth of the dress.first avoid wearing that dress and use ot atarax 25 mg at night.alaspan in the morning broad spectrum antibiotic twice daily and application of calamine lotion over the redness area can cure it.if u wear the dress first wear a barrier like baniyan in between skin and dress
