Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The condition can be erythema multiforme or insect bite reaction.
A visit to dermatologist will allow proper diagnosis and treatment.You can take paracetamol tablet for pain if the lesions have pain.
Till the time you can apply caladryl lotion. Definitive treatment would be based on diagnosis.
Hope this helps.
