dermatologic conditions are difficult to diagnose without seeing them. Hives, sunburn and infection are all possible and all have quite different treatments. BUT the treatments you have tried are good for sunburn and MIGHt be good for hives unless they are causing them!
So, stop everything and then see if it is better in 12 hr then you need to be seen.
