hello, I also think its a ant or some bugs bite. Other posibility is developing allergy to clothing material. Did you wear a new underwear today made up of synthetic materials? Some synthetic materials in clothing are allergic to skin. So always try to use cotton underwears.
You can have antihistamine like loratidine and see whether itching and swelling subsides. allergy or bugs bite both has to subside. Hope this helps. Thank you.
