hello,
I think you are suffering from urticaria which appear as red, raised, itchy lesions and disappear in another 24 hours. If this the case, steroids and antibiotics will not do much good for a long time. Antihistamine like fexofenadine/ levocetrizine will provide relief in your symptoms.
Also, try to rule out for the cause for urticaria like worm infestation, urine or any other infection in body, thyroid problem, any intake of new medicines or food items
Thanks
