What Causes Recurring Signs Of Chills, Joint Pain And Red Splotches On Torso And Chest Region?
I am having recurring symptoms. They are stiff neck, headaches, chills, fever 100.4 - 100.7 sometimes higher, joint pain and red splotches on my torso and chest areas. This only lasts about 24 to 48 hrs except the splotches (whelps & blisters) take much longer to go away completely. This has happened 3 times the last 3 months approx same time of the month. I am just getting over my last episode.

Hello,
The presence of red blotches on torso and chest with fever, rigors and joint pain indicate possible arthritis (seronegative) most likely. A detailed panel evaluation with necessary lab tests, x-ray of the concerned joints will help better diagnosis and management accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
