From your history it sees to be urticaria. Many factors such as infections, medicines, food, psychogenic factors, and respiratory allergens may be responsible. Sometime it May be idiopathic as well. If there is angiodema or anaphylaxis is associated or patient starts having any kind of associated respiratory distress, it becomes a serious issue.
