The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is papular urticaria or insect bite hypersensitivity.You should try to use mosquito nets as much as possible and wear full clothes.Topical mild steroid cream like fluticasone can be applied over the affected area. Oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used after consulting your dermatologist. Regards
