Yes, but...: The concern is that you are having an allergic reaction that affects your airway. If any of the tissues inside your mouth or throat begin to swell, if you have even the siltiest difficulty breathing, go immediately to an emergency room.

Yes: seems to be an allergic reaction or even an insect bite. suggest you see doc if problem worsens , esp if you have swelling in mouth and shortness of breath.
