Hi,

You could be suffering from an Acute allergic reaction. You might need a parenteral antihistamine or a shot of steroid. This could be decided by your doctor only after a proper examination.
So, I request you to visit your Dermatologist immediately.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
