Brief Answer:
Allergic reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the photograph.
It is looking like an allergic reaction.
I treat such cases with a mild topical steroid like cortisone and an antihistamine tablet.
It gives good response.
You can try this.
Cortisone is usually available over the counter.
There is nothing to worry it's not looking dangerous.
Just relax.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
