What Causes Swelling And Rashes On The Hands?

I shot up X2. And it was on my hand. But It was burning, then as my hand started swelling, my middle finger started to really hurt, unable to even move it, about an hour later, I was able to move it. However from my middle finger to thumb, has swollen and burns all up my arm, Ive gotten this rash around the 3 places Ive shot up and where I have a chemical Burn. Im wondering if I over dosed? HELP

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi.
As per your case history you are having urticaria.
My treatment advice is -
1. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
2. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
3. Other treatment options are oral steroid, hydroxyzine taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
