Hello,
You came in contact with a sycamore tree, thereafter you are suffering from allergies. You are suggested to take antihistamine, one at bedtime for 3-5 days for relief. Antihistamine causes dizziness so avoid doing any heavy work and do not drive. You can use nasal sprays. Nasal sprays reduce inflammation and swelling in the nasal passages. You will feel better. Do not touch, or scratch, it will cause spread of the allergy.
Take care of your hygiene and for this, take bath regularly. You can apply ointment hydrocortisone on the itchy rashes for relieve. It should clear out, if not then you should get it clinically examined by a dermatologist. You may need to get STD tests done. You may need urgent treatment with antibiotics or antivirals. Avoid taking any food or drinks that triggers your symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
