Brief Answer:
Papular urticaria, topical steroid
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to ask a doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.
It seems to be papular urticaria which is an insect bite hypersensitivity reaction.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily for 8-10 days.
This should resolve your problem.
