Hi,
As per your history, it may be due to allergic reactions. Please let me know do you have allergy to any food or medication? For that you can take tablet Loratidine and apply Hydrocortisone ointment locally.
You can also apply aloe Vera gel alternatives. Kindly watch for symptoms like fever, rashes, breathing difficulty. In that case you may require detailed evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
