General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Thank you for the query.

Rash, swelling and itchiness maybe due to allergies. As you say it maybe due to change in water or pet in your friends house. It maybe due to some thing you may have had like food/medicine also. For symptomatic relief you can try and apply a cold compress over the area, antihistamines, moisturizing creams, etc. I would suggest you to go to your local doctor if it still persists for further examination and treatment.

I hope this answers your query.

With best regards,
I find this answer helpful
