Brief Answer:
Welcome
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for your query posted. I would be pleased to give you a solution .
From the description it looks like you have got an Acute Urticaria .
This is usually caused by either intake of a new prescription drug like penicillin or an OTC drug like aspirin, systemic infection (either bacterial or viral), food additives, seafood or intestinal worms.
I would recommend taking Tablet Claritin 10 mg once or twice a day for 2 weeks + calamine lotion over the affected areas whenever symptoms occur and seeing whether they recur on stopping the medicine after 2 weeks. If they do then restart treatment for another four weeks and then stop and see. If they still recur then you will require some blood tests and will need to see a doctor in person.
Please note that if you have any lip swelling or difficulty in breathing you should see doctor right away.
