Hi,

It may be sort of allergy.... may be Prurigo simplex or allergic contact dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.

I would recommend you to apply steroid with antibiotic cream on the lesions. oral steroid in tapering dose,antihistaminics.. etc may improve the condition. Avoid the suspected dietary food stuffs which may exacerbate the disease.

Hope this helps.
