General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
From history it seems that this might be due to some insect or mosquito or bug bite causing this problem.
due to cleaning and doing some gardening work this might have happened.
Take Benadryl or cetrizine for few days.
Apply Caladryl lotion on affected parts.
Keep your surroundings in room clean and well ventilated.
Ok and take care.
