Based on your description, the sudden onset of itching all over the body with mosquito bite-like reddish swellings that appear, disappear within a short time, and then occur elsewhere is most suggestive of urticaria (hives) rather than a fungal infection or a chronic skin disease. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it may resemble Sheetapitta, which is commonly associated with an imbalance of Pitta and Vata. Urticaria can be triggered by food allergies, medications, viral infections, insect bites, heat, stress, or sometimes no definite cause is identified.
Since the lesions are transient and migrate from one area to another, this pattern is characteristic of hives. It is usually not serious, but recurrent or persistent episodes should be evaluated to identify possible triggers and rule out underlying causes.
Next Steps
Try to identify whether the itching started after consuming any new food, medication, herbal preparation, or after exposure to heat, dust, or insect bites. Avoid scratching the skin, as it can worsen the itching and trigger more hives. Wear loose cotton clothing and keep your skin cool. If the itching persists for more than a few days, recurs frequently, or is associated with swelling of the lips, tongue, face, difficulty breathing, or dizziness, seek immediate medical attention as these symptoms may indicate a severe allergic reaction.

Health Tips
Drink adequate water and avoid foods that you notice worsen your symptoms. Temporarily avoid very spicy, oily, processed foods and alcohol if applicable. Maintain a regular sleep schedule and manage stress, as emotional stress can aggravate hives in some individuals. Apply cool compresses to the itchy areas if needed and avoid hot showers, which may increase itching. Most cases of acute urticaria improve with appropriate treatment and avoidance of triggers, but recurrent episodes should be evaluated to determine the underlying cause and prevent future flare-ups.
