Hi
You seem to have developed urticaria which is basically an allergic reaction .
Such a skin allergy can occur after intake of some allergic foods ,drugs of due to any body infections.
Take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl or levocetrizine along to relieve the associated itching and allergy .
You might need a course of oral steroid if the lesion still tends to persist or increase .
