hi i had gone through your query and understand your concerns. i would come up with the possibility of ALLERGY-URTICARIA may be the cause for your sufferings.

Possible causes include;

-genetic predisposition
-emotional stress
-internal diseases
-physical factors like heat,cold,sun,exertion,pressure,vibrations.
-food and food additives
-Drugs
-insect bites
-intestinal worms

treatment;

acute urticaria's have a good outlook
-those due to food clear up quickly within few days,and those due to drugs clear up within few weeks.
-the prognosis is good when the specific cause has been established and eliminated.

I hope this is helpful for you, thank you
