Hello,
I feel that this could be Atopic dermatitis or eczema. As urticaria is extremely uncommon in this age group. I suggest you upload an image here so that I can guide you better, please.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
