Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems you could be having urticaria. Urticaria presents as itchy rashes over the body that are evanscent in nature. In most of the cases no underlying cause could be elicited. Treatment involves intake of oral antihistamines for period varying from a week to months. If severe oral steroids might be required too.
When you get the lesions, contact a doctor near by.
Take care
