Hello,
It could be an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine maleate 4 mg once daily at bedtime for 5-6 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
