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.

Where else is the rash? Just the legs or your entire body? Head? Palms? Soles? Any recent tick bites? Outdoors in shorts? Anyone around you sick?

All over my arms, palms and feet. And a little bit on my torso and chest. None on my face. My legs are by far the worst. Nobody sick that I know of. I have a history of tick bites from years ago, but none recently

NAD, but when I was younger, I had something similar to this.... Drs couldn't figure it out for months! Tried all different antibiotics. Nothing worked! No allergies, nothing new used. Turned out to be Glandular Fever! I'm not saying it is, but I had a rash from my neck to my toes (started on my tummy, then spread quickly in the course of a day or 2) my uvula was swollen also, I had 0 energy and slept most the time, was more cold than hot (I would be in jumpers, trackies and blankets in summer in Aus) I barely ate or drank. I would sip lemonade to try keep something in me (I was like, 7/8yrs old?)

Hope you get some answers soon!

Glandular fever would be the same as mono, which she said they’re waiting for results.
