General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Ringworm (tinea) infection
2. Contact dermatitis
3. Urticaria

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with:
1. Application of Calamine lotion for symptomatic relief.
2. Intake of antihistamine preparations like Allegra
3. Application of topical steroid & antifungal ointment like Clotrimazole.
4. Antibiotics to prevent secondary bacterial infection.

If symptoms still persist, kindly visit a Dermatologist & get a proper clinical examination done to find the exact cause.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
