Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Better to diagnose if i can see the pic.
As from your description it looks like allergic rash, mostly urticaria or insect bite reaction.
Try syp. cetrizine after consulting a doctor.
Dermocalm or some calamine lotion can also be used for local application.
Hope i helped you.
