Hi,

Do you have a rash or any other lesion at the site? Are you allergic to any specific substances?

Have you had similar symptoms in the past?

You should take antihistamine medications and antiallergic medications and apply calamine lotion at the site and see if it helps with your symptoms.

If your symptoms still persist, you should consult your doctor so that a clinical examiation can be done for a confirmed diagnosis and appropriate treatment started.

Let us know if you have any other doubts and post us about how you are doing.

Regards.
