Allergic Contact: Sometimes the body might react when it is in touch with chemicals, and an inflammatory reaction develops. This shows itself as swelling of the site of contact with the skin Usually it settles in few days But... you need to seek medical attention if you get worsening symptoms of swelling of your mouth or trouble breathing or body rash, or if swelling gets worse or you start feeling unwell.
