Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, it appears to be an allergic reaction, allergy may be due to some thing like food, clothes, etc.
The other reason may be the infection,like filariasis, or bacterial infection.
I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
You may have some tests for diagnosis. Which decide the cause of the swelling.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
