Hi,
The rash could be a due to a Borrelia infection or any figurate erythema. There are multiple differential diagnoses for a figurate erythema. As you also have a fever, you could possibly be suffering from an infectious condition.
So, I request you to kindly consult your dermatologist for confirming the diagnosis and to initiate the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
