What Causes Swelling And Itching Sensation On Arm And Leg?

A couple weeks ago I had to raised swollen very red itchy patches on my arm. I assumed I was but by something maybe a spider. It was very refund itchy and inflamed. Felt like it was on fire. It took a few days to go away. Then a week later I had 4 on my leg. After. Few days they went away and now I have 3 on my right arm and 1 on my left. I don t think it s a bite any more because I was in different places when this occurred. Could it be an allergy?

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms could be suggestive of a local infection or an allergic reaction. I recommend making photos of these itchy patches and consulting with a dermatologist for a physical exam. Further tests (allergy tests, inflammation tests) may be needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
