Accepted Answer

Acetic Acid reaction: Vinegar contains about 5% acetic acid which can cause irritation and even skin burns depending on how concentrated the solution is. You may be having a mild chemical burn or a reaction to another component of the vinegar. 
If the skin is not peeling and there is no pain, itching or swelling will likely resolve on its own.  If it persists or gets worse I'd recommend calling your doctor
