Most often, fever associated with rashed could be caused by certain viral infections. Depending upon the type of rashes (what you have mentioned as pimples), and the cause could be anything like chicken pox, mumps, measles, hand foot and mouth disease or several other viral infections. It could be contagious for others and the child might require isolation. I would strongly suggest visiting a pediatrician without delay.
