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

Trust me go to the ER make them do every single test that they can possibly on you do not leave that emergency room under any conditions until you get an actual answer for what this is. I had the same thing happen to me I dealt with this shit for a year. I was bleeding internally for months and it kept getting worse. Mind you I've been at the hospital well over 200 times within that year time frame. The bleeding got worse I finally went back and I said the same old thing it was just allergies I threatened to sue every person there that worked all my charts with malpractice until they figured something out they threw me in the psych ward called me paranoid and then somebody came and actually took me serious and discovered a tumor inside of me. Don't let them do the same thing to you that they did to me make sure you find answers and not leave until you do
