it seems that while playing foot ball, some poisonous insect bite is likely,as you had itching on that part. it gave allergic reaction with infection,resulting swelling with pain
without delay you consult your doctor for the treatment.
one course of antibiotic,anti inflammatory and anti allergic medicine will give you complete relief.
