Patches on skin
Hello doctors,
Since this afternoon, I’ve been feeling itchy, and I noticed small marks like ant stings on a few parts of my body—my back, legs, and near my armpits. I ignored them, thinking they might be ant bites. Now, since this evening, I have swollen patches all over my back, around my knees, thighs, and near my armpits.
Could you please help me understand how and why this happened, how I can get rid of it, and whether it’s something serious?
Also I haven't used any new products or ate something unusual since yesterday.
