Hi,

It seems that you might have lichen urticatus..also called papular urticaria. There may be vesiculopapular eruptions and thay be be severely itchy. Itmay be the hypersensitivity to insects like bedbug,flea,mosquito or other. Consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Take a short and tappering course of steroids along with antihistaminics like levocetirizine. Apply mild steroid cream. Avoid soap during bath. Take precaution for preventing insects bite. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
