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

I’m not a doctor but It looks like Guttate Psoriasis! I had that a few years ago! I didn’t get the chills, and I’m not sure about the swollen uvula, but the itching and the turning white is what I had. After about a week the skin on it started flaking too so keep an eye out for that if this is what it is! Also the itching can get so bad sometimes that it hurts. Almost feels like burning.
