Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

It may be urticaria most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Multiple investigations may be done by your doctor to find out the cause. I would recommend you to apply Calamine lotion on the lesions. Take tab Belastine 20 mg daily for few weeks.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
