Most probably Urticaria
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thank you for the answers. I have gone through them. There are high chances that these rashes are because of allergic response(Urticaria) which can be due to multiple causes and in your case it could be dust or insect bite. Allergic response takes some time to resolve completely. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:
- cetirizine one at night for 3 days
- fusidic acid ointment over the rash for 3 days
- clean your bedding, clothes thoroughly.
- wash hands after touching the rash.
- keep good care of personal hygiene
Hopefully you will see improvement in 3-4 days. If it does not improve or you obverse aggravation of symptoms then visit hospital and get an appointment for a dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
