Hives likely

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service...
I have gone through your query and reviewed the images.

They seem like Hives.
I suggest you take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days...In addition, I suggest you use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to calm down the rashes.

Hope I have answered your query.

Let me know if you need any more assistance.
