Hello. Thank you for using Ask a Doctor service. I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

You seem to have Hives. Hives present as itchy welts and redness/ flare. Allergic reaction to a food or food preservatives is a common cause of Hives. Other causes include infection, drugs, alcohol etc. I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Tab cetrizine 10mg once a day for a few days. In addition I suggest you to apply a soothing lotion e.g calamine lotion to help reduce itching and flare.

Hope I have answered your query
