Hi.
Since you give a history of sitting in the fields, this can be due to allergy to something in the farm added on with scratching and added infection. Get a course of an antibiotic, antihistamine and apply liquid Povidone Iodine locally. You may need to take multi-vitamins to ad strength to the skin. Keep the area ventilated. Do not wear tight pants .
This will get alright .
Avoid farms again.
