Brief Answer:
Insect bite hypersensitivity

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query and photograph.
It is looking like insect bite hypersensitivity.
I treat such cases with a mild steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for a week.
It is safe and effective and usually available over the counter.
You can try this.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
