Hello,
An evanescent rash like that of yours is most likely due to hives. I suggest you take an oral antihistamine e.g. cetirizine tablet or loratadine tablet. Also, use a topical soothing lotion e.g. calamine lotion to calm down the rashes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S., Dermatologist
