Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
It looks like Urticaria.
The drug of choice is Hydroxygene hydrochloride 2 times daily.
Local application of Calamine lotion will help.
It takes about 7-10 days to control.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
