Brief Answer:
Urticaria (allergic rash) most likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking Health care magic forum.

I have gone through your query.You problem is most likely due to allergy from some thing which you exposed recently.If you constantly get this in future then an allergy test by allergist can help to identify the allergen (causing agent) and you can get rid off it to prevent this.
I usually prescribe Cetirizine once daily for this which is better.For skin rash I advise calamine lotion for local application.
Hope this may help you.Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
