Brief Answer:
Topical mometasone cream

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
From the review of the clinical photograph, It seems like some sort of allergic reaction to insect bites called papular urticaria.
I would suggest you application of a cream containing mometasone and fusidic acid twice a day for atleast 15 days.
Antihistaminics can be given as required for itching if present.
Let me know if you require any more assistance from my side.
Thanks
Dr Hardik Pitroda
