Hi there.... you swelling and pain seems to be migrating....ln my opinion this looks like an helminthic infection....to deworm yourself, do take one tablet of ivermectin 12-15mg one tablet only once or tab .albendazole 400mg one tablet only one day....IF you have itching over these areas do apply calamine lotion which will soothen the affected areas.
I hope this answers your question.
Take care
