Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction.

I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine.

I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
