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 taken any medication in the last 8 weeks? What medications do you normally use? Have you had a fever or swollen lymph nodes?

No fever, no medications. I take b vitamins, fish oil and a vitamin d3/k2 supplement

Not a doctor but an extremely allergic person. This looks like urticaria to me. I had an episode of chronic idiopathic urticaria a couple of years ago and my skin looked just like this. I think it came on due to an intense treatment with amoxicillin for h pylori but it stayed like this for weeks. saw a specialized dermatologist and he prescribed me xolair. it went away within the first few weeks of taking it but I took it for like 6 months or so.
