Thanks for your query
Mostly skin disease are diagnosed just by inspection.however from your history it seems more in favour of chronic urticaria for which you take avil 25.
You should aware firstly that this condition mostly not fatal.
Secondly etiology or cause is unknown or require fine immunology testing as various allergens test,once cause is isolated it will be treated succesfully by an immunologist.
Anti histamines are still first line of treatment in acute cases like avil,benadryl. Or other newer agents like cetrazine etc.
If you want to treat it succesfully it requires immunology testings,for that you should consult an immunologist.

Have a nice day
