Hi...dear Padma..,
Thanks for choosing HCM..,
Swelling around the neck ...that too particular part...,
means ....it could be Contact Dermatitis..,
So see the contact object at that area..,
If these swellings appears allover the body...,
may be URTICARIA......cause is uncertain...
may be...worms in the intestines,food (endoallergens),
exoallergens like pollens from plants....
So evaluate...consult good dermatologist...
