recurring rash around muscles

I first noticed the problem a day after heavy lifting workout. The rash started off small and slowly covered most of my bicep muscle and forearm. It was brightish red, raised, smooth and smooth edged or rounded. Only on one arm. A few days later the other arm.

I thought it could have been from using equipment at the gym. Then i realized i put aftershave all over my arms. When i stopped it went away. However after a few weeks returned. This started in october/november. Last week i went away for a few days and there were mosquitos about. Since the 1st jan ive been getting these rashes on my arms legs, behind and front of knee, and one on my mid section. Ive now got the second one on my right arm in 4 days. The rashes take about 4-8 hours to size up and disappear in at least 36 hours.

Ill add more photos but this one is todays
