Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It looks like you have got urticaria which is a skin reaction to any trigger even mild scratching where the skin becomes raised and wheals develop. In such cases, I generally try and figure out a trigger for the same.
And then start the patient on oral anti allergic medications along with some mild steroidal cream in case if the rashes swell up massively.

I would suggest visit a dermatologist to assess you further.
Hope that helps!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I have gone through your complaints and it seems to be urticaria. I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet Levocetrizine twice daily for 2 weeks.

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