Square, Red, Itchy Spots On Hand, Mild Swelling In Hand. No White Spots In Middle. History Of Being On Outdoor Dog Show. Help
I was at an outdoor dog show last weekend in WI. I noticed three square red itchy spots on different parts of my skin that have not gone away. One is on the top of my right hand and I think caused the back of my hand to swell up Tues & Wed; it is still somewhat swollen. There is no white spot in the middle so I ruled out poison ivy & oak. Any ideas?
