Hi,
It seems that you may be having urticaria. It may be idiopathic or there may be some cause. I think, you should consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. If there some cause is found by him, it may be treated. Antihistaminics like levocetirizine or fexofenadine may improve the condition. Short course of steroids might be helpful. Avoidance of suspected allergens is required to prevent the relapse. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
