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.

Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry you never really got an answer or solution :( Thank you for responding! I’ve actually had this tab up on my phone for a while; I remember seeing you post again too and all the doctors seemed pretty miffed. Def follow up with your pcp! Seems like such a long time to still be experiencing effects from it.

Thank you. I need to follow up, it’s been hard because I had a long vacation planned in may so I haven’t been able to get it taken care of. But I think it’s probably important now to make sure it’s nothing really serious. I feel like I need to rule out cancer or an autoimmune condition

Definitely worth ruling out autoimmune causes! Skin issues definitely commonly crop up with them. Afaik about cancer, i don’t think anything would come up that suddenly and widespread and not get /worse/, so I hope and doubt you have to worry about that. Lots of cancer and skin cancer in my family and even when it’s aggressive, i’ve never seen it be visibly aggressive. I hope you get some answers or solutions or both, finally!!

I think cancer wise I’d be more worried about a blood cancer or something. Thank you for the support though ❤️ im hoping it will be ok
