What Causes Swelling, Redness In Feet With Small Itchy Spots On Ankles?
Walking in woods today, thought i had stepped in ant hill. Tops of feet red and swollen, couple of smaller spots on ankles (look like large hives). Intense itching, but no visible bites. Live in the south, fire ants leave a small blister where the bites are. Have never had poison ivy, etc., but the itching started immediately.

Hello,
I think you should get an antihistamine such cetirizine for itching and rush. Also you can have prednisone injection to help you with that allergy. Using hydrocortisone cream on the rash can be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
