Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have viewed the image.
You have urticaria i.e hives.
I suggest you to take a tablet of cetrizine 10mg once daily in evening for a few days.
Topically you may use a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion.

Regards
