Hi
You seem to be developing some kind of allergic skin reaction .
Sudden appearance of such skin rash can be due to things like insect bite.
You need to apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone over the affected areas twice a day .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
You might need to take oral antihistamine to decrease the allergic reaction .
