HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This could be urticarial rash, this will go away (Generally) without the medicine, if this is the first time happened to you then I would advise not to take any medicine unless it manifest very severely like affecting the respiratory system, even if does not vanishes then you can have the long actin second generation anti histamine "Levocetrizine 20mg" three times in day, take care and have nice good day.
I find this answer helpful
