Hi, you are having lichen urticatus. Take short course of steroid in tappering dose. Take anti histaminic till you get relief in itching. If you feel the lesion infected, take a short course of antibiotics. Apply calamine lotion. It is due to hipersensitivity to insect bites. So , keep the bed clean and keep away yourself from insects ..like bed bug. Avoid stress. Avoid soap bath. Take dettol bath... I hope you will be fine.. Ok
