I have been to 2 doctors already - one tested my blood because she thought it was mono, but my blood was fine, and I don't have strep throat (test was done), only gave me an antihistimine. Another doctor treated me right away for scarlet fever and gave me penniccillin (which IS helping a tiny bit so far), but never tested me for anything (scarlet is a form of strep...but i'm negative for strep). I've probably been diagnosed wrong, but has anyone else experienced this?: Sore throat/swollen tonsils that later came with a red itchy maculopapular rash on elbows, top, and back of arms, back, spread to belly, upper legs? I am not allergic to anything and have not been consuming anything different into my body nor using different soaps/detergents. I'm guessing it's just some kind of virus.
I'd appreciate no answers telling me that i was diagnosed wrong (because i already know that it's possible), and would prefer answers from people who have had this experience or are in the medical field

It;s not an allergy.

I think we figured it out - a reaction from beathing in the toxic mould spores from cleaning the black mould in my bathroom with bleach. When killing some types of moulds, a toxin is released that can be inhaled. That'll do it.

I have been going thru the same situation since Sept. 6th. I have had what I thought was an allergic reaction with raised red itchy bumps and rash in the same area's. I had a culture test done a little over a week ago and today found out that I've had a staph infection from a wound that I've had. I hadn't tried any new detergents or anything and had been afraid to eat. I've quit eating certain things and wearing gloves to do dishes and the rash was still there. I had no idea that a staph infection could look like an allergic reaction. Just thought I'd share my story and maybe the doctor could test you for it too.

I would say probable allergic reaction, maybe it's someone new you were around. Everyone becomes allergic to something sooner or later. I would try going to an allergist! Peace!

You may not be allergic to anything. . .so far. You might have been around something new without even knowing it.
Try an allergy test.
