This should be filariasis .
a disease, common in the tropics and subtropics, caused by the presence in the lymph vessels of the parasitic nematode worms Wuchereria bancrofti and Brugia malayi (see filaria). The worms, which are transmitted to humans by various mosquitoes (including AĆ«des, Culex, Anopheles, and Mansonia), bring about inflammation and eventual blocking of lymph vessels, which causes the surrounding tissues to swell (see elephantiasis). The rupture of urinary lymphatics may lead to the presence of chyle in the urine. Filariasis is treated with the drug diethylcarbamazine.
I once had the same problem. See a doctor.
The swelling goes away after like 20mins. I know filariasis
I believe it is not.

yvelchstores:
It could be an allergy. Are you taking any medication like ibuprofen? You are reacting to something. Those are hives. Loratadine is known to provide temporal relief of the itching. It's best you go to the hospital. They will do a full blood count for you and if your body is reacting to an allergy, part of the result will show high levels. They may recommend steroid injection and topical steroid creme. All the best. Sorry.
Im not taking any medication. I would go do a full blood count. Thanks

Health / Strange Itch And Swelling On My Body. by Frankfurt111: 9:30pm On Mar 05, 2020
Please i need help. I dont know what is happening to me. I dont know how to tell people what i am passing through. Because they would think i have bedbug infestation. What happens is all of a sudden a part of my body would start itching me, looking at the site that is itching me even without touching it i would notice it is swollen. It is not bed bug. That i am a very sure about. I have bought new clothes put them on and still experience this. Sometimes after experiencingthe itch would take off my clothes and examine it thoroughly with flash and wont see any bug or insect. Sometimes i have visitors sleep over in my place and none complains of any bite of such. Which makes me sure it is not bugs.I dont know what can be causing this. Please anyone with idea what i am going through please help.

Admins please help move this to front page so i can get help.
