Noticed Red Blotchy Areas On Top Lid. Spreading To Lower Lips, Throat Feeling Sore And Swollen. What Is It?

I noticed that just inside my top lip was red in blotchy areas and hurt. It looks like pieces of skin have peeled away in small patches . The next morning, it looks like it has spread to the inside of my lower lip , and again, small pieces of skin look to be missing. My throat also feels a bit sore/swollen, but I am not sure if that is related due to having that it occur a couple days before. I m worried; do you know what it is?
