Helllo dear,
Welcome to HCM.
I have read your query and understood your concern.

It seems you are suffering from a condition called urticaria. It is an allergic condition of skin characterised by red itchy bumps involving body. It may be due to any recent infection, drugs, food, environmental factors etc.

I usually advise my patients to take tablet levocetrizine / fexofenadine for atleast 2 weeks.

As per details, this is my best advise for you. You may discuss it with your doctor. I am sure he will agree with my opinion.
Stay healthy.
