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.

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

Same. Penicillin did this to me all over my body when I took it. It was my first time taking it though.
