Hi,
It seems to urticaria. I would recommend you to go for certain lab tests like complete blood count, TSH, anti TPO levels, serum IgE levels and urine routine examination as derangement of these are associated with this type of rash.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
