Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy blotchy rashes on random places on the body which is probably due to viral infection which is lowering down your immunity and making you prone for infection. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like allergic reaction, angiomas , acne, eczema, psoriasis and due to certain systemic pathology. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper hygiene. You should take antihistamine like benadryl and avoid applying any cosmetic , apply only petroleum jelly . You should consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin test or allergy test along with blood test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. You should drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
