Hello,
From the symptoms the possibility of hives needs to be ruled out. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red,
itchy, raised areas of
skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.
Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.
