I was cleaning our garage swiping the dirt then washed my hands a minute after it started to get red and swollen, it's itchy and pulsating.

Possible allergy: It is likely that you came in contact with something in your garage while cleaning causing rash and swelling due to allergy. Medicines like Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) Claritin, Allegra, or Zyrtec should help. Please get to the emergency room if you start feeling dizzy, light headed, sweating, or short of breath. Also see a doctor if swelling and pain get worse or doesn't go away.
