Hi.
As per your case history you may be having annular urticaria.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid food containing artificial colours and preservatives. Also decrease taking fast food.
2. Don't take any over the counter medicines. Certain medicines can cause allergy.
3. Take antihistamines like tab. Levocetrizine 5mg twice daily. And apply calamine lotion if rashes appear.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Thanks.
