Brief Answer:
Papular urticaria

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have viewed the images.
I can see a red, blotchy rash on the back of your hand and a similar looking rash in your child cheek.
This seems like papular urticaria which is due to hypersensitivity to mosquito bites. This rash is not contagious.
I suggest you to use Flutibact ointment (fluticasone propionate and mupirocin ointment), twice daily for this rash, for yourself and for the baby as well.
