Today in my tuition I was bitten by an insect. I do not know if it was a mosquito or something else. Then the itching started and my skin swelled up but within half an hour my itching was completely gone but my skin is still swelled up and it hurts when I touch it. What can it be? Can it be poisonous?

Something must have stung in you. It will get better as time passes, within 2 days it should get normal, if you do not see any changes or reduction in swelling, then you need to see the doctor.
