Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
According to your complaints you seem to have developed urticaria which is an allergic reaction.
It can occur due to multiple causes like food allergies, drugs, infections, thyroid diseases and in many persons occur without any cause.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 5-7 days.
This should subside it.
