Brief Answer:
urticaria.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.
thanks for sharing your concern.
From the history posted here it appears you might have developed acute urticaria.It is an allergic condition.
Anything including food, cloth, change in climate, pollens etc can cause urticaria.
You need to find out the cause.
Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long.Please try to note which agent causes it in your case and do you apply any medication presently?A photograph would have helped me better.so please attach it here.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
Wishing you a good health.
