About a week ago, my  boyfriend was working up on a farm with a friend and was out in the wet elements up to his knees in mud and muck.  Since then he has developed swollen red splotchy ankles that hurt quite a bit. It seems the more he is on them the worse the pain is for him.  The splotches are on the top of the feet, ankles and run about 6 inches above the ankle. The left is definitely worse than the right one.  He is not overweight and is a manual laborer so used to that kind of work.  He seems to think he got some weird kind of athletes foot, but I havent seen athletes foot like that before.  He also has lumps under the skin that feel for lack of a better word, knots and they are between the top of the foot and ankles. To me it looks like a bad case of hives.  Any ideas?
