What Causes Itchy, Red Swollen Lump?

Hi Dr. Over the weekend with no injury I have a very itchy at first and then also swollen wrist. It frist I thought it was a mosquito bit that was inflamed. The area effected increased in size it spread from the base of the palm to the thum and the itchy area also become hot and more swollen and red. As late Sat night I took some (phanergan) sorry about spelling. That eased the itch and I when to sleep. The next day Sunday, it appeared in the left hand the same way as in the right but to lesser extant. This morning Monday, my palms feel a little swollen but no rednes or itch. However I have red swollen, itchy lump about the size of 50c on the wrist in the centre just below the prior effected area on the palm. Please help with ideas ?? Thank you
