Hi,
It seems that you are having lichen urticatus, also known as papular urticaria.
It is cutaneous hypersensitive reaction to insects.
Insects may be bedbug ,flea or mosquitoes.
Take steroid in tappering dose for 2 to 4 weeks.
Take antihistaminics till you get relief in itch.
Apply calamine lotion for soothing effects.
Avoid soap.
Use dettol liquid for bath.
Keep awy from insects.
You might be alright in few weeks.
However, it may relapse.
You consult you dermatologist again and discuss about your disease...ok
Regards.
