Hi,
It is chronic urticaria.
Kindly consult the dermatologist and have proper diagnosis and perfect treatment.
Blood investigations may be done for internal diseases and allergy.
Long term treatment should be considered.
Fexofenadine,doxepin,desloratidine etc may be considered. If needed,short and tapering course of steroid may be taken. Avoid suspected factors in diet. Avoid contact with suspected things.
I hope this would help.
Thanks.
