What Causes Swelling And Itchiness Where Blood Was Drawn?

Had a blood draw this morning. Arm is swollen, itchy, red (about 4x4) area, warm to the touch and hard. Could it be latex allergy? Happened one other time about 6 years ago. Have had many blood draws since that time and no reaction. Thinking of taking some benedryl. Good Idea?
Thank you
