Dear Patient,
yes this can be a delayed skin reaction/ skin allergy. If you were my patient i'd recommend trying antihistaminic medication like loratadine or cetirizine first. Normally this will get better within a few days since the causing substance is not given anymore. Hope this is helping you , if you have any clarificatons you can get back to me, if this was helpful please kindly rate my answer.
Best regards
