Did you take any medicines while you were sick? It could be an allergic reaction to a medicine or may also be contact dermatitis not from a nettle but from something else. And if it is an allergic reaction, you must be given antihistamines or steroids as soon as possible because you may suffer from serious hypersensitivity reaction like anaphylaxis which can be life-threatening because it may cause constriction of the airways, resulting in wheezing and difficulty in breathing. You should visit your doctor immediately.

You need to be seen by a physician to determine what kind of rash you have. Esp. with edema and the itching. Good Luck
