Dermatologist 's  Response
It can be an allergic reaction or something like urticaria. If it only appears on areas where you scatrch and goes within 10-15 minutes, then you could benefit from topical calming lotions like lactocalamine, calosoft etc. If it also appears on lips and around area you would need to see a dermatologist.
