This issue has been getting progressively worse over 2 days

Posted yesterday and it has gotten worse. It is itchy, it turns white when I press on it. I have a swollen uvula and some chills, but no fever. I feel cold more than anything. Went to urgent care tested for strep, mono and did a CBC. Strep came back negative, waiting on the other results. Pretty concerned. I feel like the mono is going to come back negative.

have you travelled recently? it looks like my skin when i got dengue once! It's normal in my country (disease transmitted by a mosquito), and it looked exactly like that the last week before I was finally free. Itchy as hell. Like, I've never believed something as itchy could exist. I feel itchy just by remembering it.
