sofiavioletInternets, counsel me on my Itchy Welts.
So I have been battling these awful Itchy Welts for a few days now. They popped up first near my knees, then my ankles. Now they have spread to my feet, arms, and belly. They tend to occur near my joints. They are mostly single spots, but there is a slightly curved line of four welts on my belly and a triangle of three on my thigh.
I have been battling them with Neosporin + Pain Relief, since it was the only thing in the house that would make them stop itching. Grabbed some hydrocortisone cream today and that helps, though it's not quite as good as the magic stuff they put in Neosporin.
I had one itchy welt begin weeping today at work, but I blamed that on scratching it. Slapped a bandaid over it and went on with life.
After dinner tonight, I noticed a blister on the back of my ankle. As big around as a bubble on bubble wrap, but even puffier.
Have taken a bath with baking soda, put Neosporin and bandaids over the open spots, hydrocortisoned the rest, and taken 75mg of benadryl.
Anyone know what the fuck is wrong with me and/or have any further suggestions to keep me from clawing my skin off?
EDIT: Yes, okay, doctor tomorrow.

It could be a fungus, an infection, an allergic reaction, any number of things. It is best to let someone with some sort of training figure out which it is than to try to self-diagnose using the internets.
