sorry Is it allergies?
Brief Answer:
It could be due to allegry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I have seen the image you have attached. Considering the swelling with mild hyperemia and shiny skin, I strongly suspect the swelling to be due to allergy.
Allergy could be due to any substance which you might have been exposed recently. Do take a dose of Benadryl which will bring down the symptoms.
If it is progressive then you may have to visit your nearest doctor to get a shot of anti allergic medication.
Do try to identify the allergen and avoid it in future as the subsequent reactions can be stronger.
Hope, I answered your query.
