Perhaps you have urticaria i.e Hives. Urticaria presents as itchy welts/wheals with a surrounding red flare.

Brief Answer:
Urticaria

Detailed Answer:
hi

Most likely it was Urticaria i.e Hives.
Causes of urticaria include recent infections(e.g upper respiratory infection, dental infection etc), drugs/medications, certain foods/food preservatives etc
I suggest you to continue Etofex 120mg tab. for 2-3 weeks.
