It should resolve: It sounds like you are having a reaction to whatever you bumped up against, whether this is an early infection or an allergy like response is unclear. But if you are healthy and otherwise without significant medical problems it should go away on its own. Topical antihistamines may help with the symptoms in the meantime.
