Hi,
It may be lichen urticatus also called papular urticaria. Kindly consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
It is a hypersensitive reaction to insect bites.
I would suggest...
- antihistaminics like desloratidine
- steroid in tapering dose
- apply soothing lotion like calamine with aloe vera
- avoid soap bath
- take care to avoid insects bites
I hope this would help you..
Thanks.
