Hello, evanescent lesions as described by you is urticaria
Now, the management varies whether it is acute or chronic (problem for 6 weeks or more)
Since the duration isnot mentioned, i assume it to be acute urticaria which has many causes like drugs, cosmetics, foods, fragrances, exercises or in 50% cases, it is idiopathic.
The mainstay of management is antihistamines, give tab Avil 25 mg for the lesions, apply dermocalm lotion on the lesions, try identifying the causative factor and avoid it or minimise it.
Thanks
Take care
