From your description I can make out that you may be suffering from Urticaria. Its a kind of allergy which can be due to many factors. It is difficult to find the exact cause of urticaria sometimes but we can do some blood test and also try to detect the exact cause by obtaining detailed information about the rashes like time, duration, frequency, etc.
Treatment course for this type of allergy is usually unpredictable and you have to continue the medicines till it lasts. If we are able to detect the cause then it dissappears once we treat the cause.
Next Steps
consult a qualified dermatologist for proper assessment, blood test and treatment plan
