Need skin images to help better. But as per your description it looks like you are have urticaria. Urticaria is allergic reaction and can be due to multiple things like (food, cosmetics, detergents, occupational exposure to chemicals, parasitic infections etc). You should check blood eosinophils, serum IgE levels and get allergy test.
