Insect?: It sounds like you have been bitten by some bug. Try diphenhydramine and see if it helps. If it does not, see a doc.

Sudden eye swelling: Hard to know what is going on from the description here, but sudden eye swelling around the eye could be a sign of bacterial infection, which can spread quickly and compromise your sight. Have this evaluated very quickly. Virtual consults on this site can be used for personalized advice, in this case to better determine urgency.
