“It happened overnight?”
It happened overnight, I woke up couldn’t see my ankles, legs were red, swollen, scaly, bumpy with hives and blisters. Is this a reaction or something else?

I am sorry you are having such uncomfortable symptoms. It is hard to tell from the pictures what type of rash we are dealing with, but it could be hives. They can appear suddenly and are usually very itchy. I would advise seeing your primary care doctor and if it is itchy, take oral antihistamines over the counter. Your doctor needs to review your medications and make sure this is not a reaction to some of them.
