Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.
I suggest you to take antihistamines daily such as Levocetirizine.
I also suggest you to avoid the contact with the causing allergen.
If the symptoms continue steroid shots may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
