Hi, It seems that you are having either prurigo or lichen urticatus. Both are pruriginous conditions. Take antihistaminics with tappering dose of steroids till relief. Apply mometasone cream twice day. Avoid soap bath. Take dettol bath. No stress, worries.. Avoid pruritus inducing diets.. Fermented food, fish, prawns, banana, cows milk, cold drinks.. etc . Keep away yourself from dust , fume , grass , pollens, insects, mosquitoes.. I hope you will recover. Still, you may consult dermatologist... Ok
