The possible diagnosis of the condition based on the description of the lesions is urticaria which is a hypersensitivity reaction to either external a or internal allergen .Avoid sour food and fermented food as much as possible. Topical soothing lotions like calamine lotion can be used along with oral antihistamines like fexofenadine. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
