Hi,
As this development occurred for one day all of a sudden indicates that it might be due to something insect bite causing allergic reaction to surrounding tissue producing this pain and itchiness.
Another possibility of having some ingrown hair follicle producing boil or forming abscess.
Wait for a day or two, if problem increases then go for one antibiotic medicine course for 3-5 days.
Take some antihistamine as well.
Ok and take care.
