Hi,
It seems that you may be having vasculitic urticaria. There may be wheals which are painful and itchy. There is inflammation in blood vessels in skin. There may be no cause. You consult dermatologist. It may be associated with internal diseases or some immunological disease. Oral steroids,hydroxychloroquin , dapsone, antihistaminics may improve the condition. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
