Hi.

It may be urticaria. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some cause. Contacts or dietary factor. Keep a watch on triggering factor.

In a few days,you may get knowledge of the cause. Then avoid it. You may take antihistaminics like Cetirizine or Fexofenadine in proper doses and oral steroid in tapering dose after consulting the doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
