Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Folliculitis
2. Fungal infection
3. Urticaria
4. Contact dermatitis

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with:
1. Intake of antihistamine preparations like Allegra
2. Application of topical steroid & antifungal ointment
3. Calamine lotion for symptomatic relief
4. Antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infection.

However, the underlying cause needs to be treated.
So, kindly visit a Dermatologist & get a proper clinical examination done to find the exact cause.
One more thing...avoid itching or squeezing them as it may further aggravate them.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
