Hi.
As per your case history you are having urticaria.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid fast food and food with artificial colors for 2 months.
2. Don't take any medication without consulting a doctor as it may worsen the condition.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 2 months.
4. Other treatment options are oral hydroxyzine, steroids taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
Thanks.
