Your symptoms seem to be related to an insect bite. A photo would be very helpful through the diagnosis. I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg daily. I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
