Brief Answer:
Possibility of hives

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Seems like hives/ urticaria. They can be widespread and are red and itchy. I suggest you to use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetirizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
