How Can Allergic Skin Rashes On The Legs Be Treated?

Hey so I was at a bonfire about two days ago, and I had to go get wood from the pile that s been there for at least a year. 2-4 Hours later my leg had afew big red splotches with dark dots in the middle and was itchy and felt hot with rashes surrounding the areas. At about the same time I started to get really feverish, with cold sweats and dizziness and I was just exhausted. Once the redness went down with some ice and a mild tourniquet I was left with big pimples not quite blisters that are really tender. I think they re getting bigger
