This is acute urticaria. It could be a medical emergency and can be threatening. Meet a Dermatologist near you for proper guidance and identity a emergency care near you. Most of the times it resolves though a cause should be identified or probability of relapse is there.
Next Steps
Apply Dermocalm lotion on the affected area with OTC anti-allergic medications.
Health Tips
Avoid self medications. Meet a Dermatologist.
