Hi there Andrea.
Thanks for writing in to HCM & for your detailed history & clinical description.
From your description of things, it does appear that you have some sort of a hypersenstivity reaction.
This can be from some form of 'insect' bites or reaction pattern or a reaction pattern to some underlying infection or some medication. Do you suspect something you may be allergic to?
Please take an antihistamine like Allegra or Telfast 180mg once/day & a topical mild 1% hydrocortisone cream applied twice/daily may be useful & this should clear up in 24-48 hrs.
If it persists past 48 hrs, please visit a dermatolgist nearest you.
Good Luck & here's to a clear skin soon! Cheers!
