Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,
I have gone through your complaints and according to me, it is either insect bite hypersensitivity reaction or eczematous rash.
I would recommend you to upload the pictures of the affected areas so that I can have a clearer picture of the condition and can guide you accordingly.
Meanwhile, If I were your treating doctor I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like Cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
