Brief Answer:
It can be allergy from some thing you exposed or ate.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to allergy from some thing you exposed or ate. Possibility is there for allergy to some thing you are not allergic to before also.

Taking over the counter anti histamines like benadryl and corticosteroid cream like hydrocortisone for local application will be helpful.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
