Brief Answer:
It could be due to Allergy or Infection

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

I saw the pic.
It looks like Allergy.It could be due to some food item or bite.
I prescribe Anti allergic tablet containing Levocetrzine to my patients with similar complaints.If there is no response,I add corticosteroid tablet like Betamethasone or Dexamethasone.
Still if there is no response, I add Antibiotic like CEFUROXIME.
Nothing to worry.
They will come down.

Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further. Wish you good health.
