A hydrocortisone 1%cream or ointment to apply on the area will help .
If you have any of these symptoms : Pain, pressure or tightness in the chest, difficulty breathing , difficult swallowing, shortness of breath , swelling of the face, lips , mouth or tongue.. You should go to your nearest ER/hospital immediately for emergency medical care.
Keep the face clean , avoid scratching.
