Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.

It seems to be urticaria which is an allergic reaction.

In my patients, I would recommend to take antihistaminic like tablet Levocetirizine 10mg twice daily and apply calamine lotion (Calosoft AF lotion) on the affected areas twice daily for 1 week.

This will help in resolving your problem.

Regards
Dr Asmeet

thank you doctor for your advice however I've already been taking Levocetirzine tablet 2 times a day for a while now the results are temporary as it goes but later it appears again and for skin I apply alovera gel (real) for some relief if there's any better medicine please let me know , thank you .

Welcome

Detailed Answer:
If have already taken levocetrizine 10mg and its not working then you go for a tablet containing combination of levocetrizine and montelukast ( tablet montair LC) one tablet twice daily for 10 days.
