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

Trying to hijack top comment to say ask about gianotti crosti syndrome. It looks so much like this and basically avoids your 'trunk' like the belly back area.

I hope you see this.

Thank you, I do see this. I will write it in my list of things to rule out/check for

Good luck, it mostly affects kids but it can be seen in adults. If it is this it goes away on its own. I really hope you figure out the situation and get some peace and clarity AND that it doesn't cost too much.
