Hard to diagnose: without seeing it. It sounds like a contact reaction to something you were exposed to. Have you used a new soap/detergent/shampoo/other facial product? Are you otherwise sick in any way? If it's a contact rash, the treatment might be an oral antihistamine and a topical steroid cream....but I would still recommend having it checked by your doctor.
