You are having skin allergy most probably.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question.
In my opinion mostly you are having skin allergy.
Skin allergy can be seen due to
1. Food
2. Dust
3. Chemical exposure
4. Animal fur
5. Pollens etc.

Start following treatment.

1. Drink plenty of fluids. Keep yourself hydrated.
2. Avoid dust and pollution.
3. Skin hygiene is must. Wear cotton clothes.
4. Start combination of antihistamines and antiallergic (leukotriene receptor blocker). Twice a day.
5. Apply steroid containing cream on skin lesions. Thrice a day.
6. Keep your skin moist. Don't let it dry.
7. And try to identify allergen (as mentioned above) and if possible complete avoidance is needed.

Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
