Brief Answer:
Hives/Urticaria

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

You seem to have hives/urticaria- itchy welts with flare that can become generalized. I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days..In addition I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes.

Hope I have answered your query. Ler me know if you need any more assistance

Hives. Oral antihistamine and calamine

Hi.
Cetirizine is an OTC drug. Calamine too is OTC. They seem like hives but could be bug bites as they may look similar. Management is similar in eithe case. Take care.
