Hello
It appears to be urticarial (allergic) rashes.The reason for coming up in the evening and night time can be due to hypersensitivity to insect bite or to any particular chemical to which he get exposed in the evening.
Use of antiallergic like cetrizine helps in relieving the acute symptoms.Adding montilukast helps in controlling the repeated attack.
So my suggestion is to give montilukast cetrizine combination and try to find out the causative agent so that it can be better avoided.
Regards
