Definitely see an allergist. People develop allergies anytime in life. It's quite possible you're allergic to something at work. Symptoms can show up hours after contact.

The symptoms you describe are of severe allergic reaction and you need to get the opinion of an allergy specialist at the earliest.
These symptoms are not to be ignored and could even cause breathing difficulty.
