Hello,
From the sudden appearance of symptoms,it can be hives. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes.
Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.
Take antihistaminics like Benadryl or Claritin and apply mild steroid cream on the itchy areas.Also application of calamine lotion will help in soothing the skin.If the symptoms persist then oral steroids may be needed.Pls consult a dermatologist then.
Hope it helps.Take care and regards.
