Cardiologist, Dr. Ilir Sharka's Response

Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to a skin allergic reaction or an infection.

Considering your lifestyle, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician as soon as possible for a physical exam and some blood lab tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
