It could be a contact dermatitis or an insect bite reaction. Body louse and scabies can also present like this. As a first line of management you can take antihistamines like Pheneramine for symptomatic relief. Apply calamine lotion also. If symptoms persist, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
