There is always a first time for an allergic reaction. Was this evenly across one side of your face or could you identify an originating point or any bite marks? The fact that the cream helped probably means it was an allergy - what kind of cream - one for insect bites. Otherwise did you use sun cream earlier, lie on the grass, eat anything - these could all be allergy triggers.

Sounds totally like an allergic reaction. These can come and go over the course of your life. I once had a red hand with tiny hives just from resting my hand on the grass one year. This responded quickly to an antihistamine so I didn't bother seeing a doctor.

If it was me, what I would do is next time it happens, if ever, take a photo and show it to your doctor if you are worried. Am assuming your eyes did not go bloodshot, and that you didn't have swelling or hives anywhere, and that your breathing was ok? The fact that it was so responsive to the cream is good.
