Brief Answer:
Get blood allergy test done
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photographs.
It is definitely urticaria.
Try to monitor your diet.
Start with plain rice and cooked potato with home ground spices without preservatives.
Keep on adding a new thing in your diet.
Keep noting down what you have consumed, the moment you develop these rashes look back to notebook and see what you took last and then avoid that.
Just try this exercise for 3 months.
It's tedious but there is no other way.
Medication can give you temporary relief.
Get blood allergy test done.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
