Brief Answer:
Probably allergic reaction to egg whites, follow the above advice below.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to egg whites.
The allergic reaction can darken the skin.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
- Take daily antihistamines for 10 to 14 days
- Continue using Benadryl cream for local relief in the area
- If you don't get better you should take prescribed corticosteroids, consult your doctor about this treatment.
- Apply cold compresses
- Elevate the head while you sleep to prevent fluid accumulation

The symptoms should disappear in a few days, so don't worry.

Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
