The following can help to relieve the symptoms of allergies:
• Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) has antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties. The common dose is 300 mg four times daily.
• Grape (Vitis vinifera) seed extract has antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties. The usual dose is 50 mg three times daily.
• Ephedra (Ephedra sinicia), also called ma huang, has anti-inflammatory activity and is proven effective in treating allergies. Taken as a tea thrice daily or 12.5–25 mg in capsule form. Ephedra should not be used for prolonged periods of time, as it can raise blood pressure, cause rapid heartbeat, and interfere with adrenal gland function.
• Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) has cortisone-like activity which is anti-inflammatory, stimulates the adrenals, and relieves allergy symptoms. Can be taken as a tea or
100–300 mg in capsule form. Long term use can result in sodium retention or potassium loss.
• Chinese skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) has bronchodilator activity, is an anti-inflammatory, and prevents allergic reactions. It is taken in combination with other herbs.
• Ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba) seeds are used in Chinese medicine for wheezing and coughing.
• Echinacea (Echinacea species) may have anti- inflammatory activity and boost the immune system.

I think you need to go to the Dr. or the Hospital room if it gets worse and keeps coming and adds on. Go get checked just in case, it's probably nothing but It could be something more serious then an allergic reaction. Just to be safe go to the Dr.
O and try lotion like Calamine lotion or something (stop itch)
Hope you find a cure!

A little Benedryl cream may help. You might also try making a paste of baking soda and putting it on the area.

Then it may not be an allergy. If it bothers you that much, then it's time to go to the doctor, I'd say.

Homeopathy:-
PSORINUM 1M(1000) Once a week followed by SULFUR 200C just once a day twice a week two days after taking PSORINUM.
PSORINUM 1M just three doses in Three Weeks.
Report back with progress after one week.
Take care and God Bless !

Hate to say it, but you need to see an MD. Could be anything but a Dr would know for sure.

try calamine lotion
it's pink and dries kind of funny but it will help take away the itch and the redness
apply it generously and you should be fine within 5 minutes
