Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
What you describe appears to be allergic reaction to something. If the itching doesn't go away after some time, you need to go to a doctor who will prescribe the medicines for it. We cannot prescribe medicines without examination.

Hi!,
Welcome To HealthcareMagic forum,
Its a sever sun burn reaction if you had a gone for swimming in the day time or early morning.This very common condition which we see after swimming .
You can use any mild steroid cream in combination with antibiotic over the lesion and also use a sun-blocking cream when you go out in sun.For itching you can take one cetrizine tablet daily.
I hope this answers your query,if you have any further question ,you can write back to us.
regards,
Dr.chawda
