Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It may be lichen urticatus. It is a hypersensitivity reaction to insects bite. Consult a dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Antihistaminics, like Cetirizine may be taken. Apply Calamine lotion for soothing purpose. If needed, steroid may be taken in tapering dosage schedule after having prescribed by a doctor. Keep yourself away from insects.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
