I Inflicted A Nifty Burn/abrasion Combo On My Arm, Which

I inflicted a nifty burn/abrasion combo on my arm, which I've kept meticulously clean with Dial antibacterial soap. It's weeping, but the discharge is clear and odorless. At first I was applying triple antibiotic ointment several times a day, but I switched to Bactine because it's less messy. The morning after I switched, I woke up with hives all over my arm with a high concentration around the edge of the wound. It's not responding much to a double dosage of Benadryl, and hydrocortisone seems to just make them angry. My question is is it just a waiting game at this point, or should I see a doc?
