Scratch scratch
I’m pretty sure the rash is a sun allergy. Though I’ve never had this before. I guess I will see: if it disappears shortly after I get back in the cold north, it’s something sun-related, if not, it’s something bad. Comparatively bad, anyhow, though I am not really pleased about this idea of a sun allergy. I wear suntan lotion!
But right now my hands are creepy and swollen and getting past itchy to painful. Today I forgot the anti-histamine, but I do have cortisone cream. Last night it made it better, so hopefully tonight it will do the same.
Itch itch itch itch. Itch.

Could it be a side effect from any medication? My husband once took a med (plaquenil) that caused a reaction.
Or poison ivy?
At any rate, I do hope it improves. What an inconvenient thing to happen over a vacation.

Haven’t taken any medications, or touched any weird plants. And it can’t be detergent, it’s only on my hands and feet and legs a bit. It’s just a really super gross looking rash. (Not gross in the pus sense, just red and bumpy and swollen.)

Totally sounds like you touched *some*thing. It doesn’t sound like heat-related being just in the extremeties.
