Reason For Swelling In The Leg?

I stepped in a rain puddle in the dark in Venice, Florida on Saturday, April 18 and the next day my feet and legs were peppered with tiny looking bites that did not itch. My feet were swollen twice the size and legs not as swollen. Friend says pepper looking bites they are on stomach with patches on back but not as profuse as on feet and legs. They turned to blotches on Sunday and swelling down. Tuesday the peppered bites worst on, feet blotchy and somewhat swollen. I feel fine, no fever and surprised the itch is minimal. Can t identify any new food that could be an allergy eaten during this time. Finished up a dose of Amoxisillan and pure Motrin on April 16 taken for jaw abcess following root canal on April 11. Any suggestions?

It seems you have interaction of amoxycillin with tab motrin. You had stepped in rain puddle but have bite blotchy skin lesions on abdomen and back. Rain puddle water cant react to such an extent. If i have to treat such a patient i will advice tab methyl prednisolone 8mg, tab mebryl , tab cefuraxemine 500 , all twice a day, betnovate n cream in caladryl lotion to be applied locally.
