Welcome to Healthcare Magic
It's quite possible you have developed urticarial allergic reaction to the anaesthetic which was given. Are you known to have allergy to Xylociane. Kindly continue taking the medicines as your Doctor advised and also get a patch test done at your Dermatologist's office to confirm what you are allergic to.
