Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from a condition called as urticaria.
It is an allergic condition.
There must be a particular food or any other item with which you are getting this allergy.
Even a new cloth or change in environment can cause this.
Try to notice it and eliminate it.
Treatment is with anti histamines like cetrizine.
Steroids might be required if it is severe.
This will give you some relief.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
