I touched an older womans hand and two hours later my whole back felt itchy and when i got home i had an outbreak of pale scab patches, they made my skin risen and puffy, they look pale/brown, appearing on my cheek, eyelid, neck and armpit?

It seems you have an acute allergic reaction but I am not sure the allergen is from the old woman's hand but it can't be ruled out entirely. If needed, you can take anti-allergic medication such as allegra (less sedative effect) or benadryl, OTC allergic meds, for those symptoms. It could be a coincidence then you should see a dermatologist if those skin findings last more than 3 days. Good luck.
