I've got a burn on my right leg, just above the foot, from falling onto a bike silencer that was on last Sunday, and now my foot's really swollen. Could you suggest some medicine or treatment to help with the swelling and pain?

Question

I've been dealing with these itchy rashes for about four months now, and they're driving me crazy! They feel like there's tiny needles pricking me, and my heart starts racing. They start out small but then get really big, and it's mostly at night. It's all over my body, even on my head, and especially bad on my legs. Sometimes I can't breathe well, and my lips and face swell up, which is really scary. My eyes get puffy too. The rashes leave these brown marks on my skin after the itchiness goes down. I'm really worried because no one seems to know what's going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening?

Could you help me out with something? I'm a 72-year-old male dealing with ringworm on my abdomen and back. It's really itchy. I've got diabetes and I'm taking Metolar, Ecosprin, and Metformin. Is it safe for me to try taking Can 150 mg for three days for this issue? Would appreciate your advice.
