What Does Fever And Rashes On The Body Indicate?
I currently have a fever which began as 101.1 on Monday and continues low-grade today (99.1), Thursday. Not long enough to worry about, I know. But what concerns me now, is that for the past 2+ weeks I have experienced a rash traveling around my body: a small patch on a hip, then an inner thigh, inner arm, and then about a week ago it arose on my face. I was working away from home, so kept the patches lubricated with benedryl. The 1 wide red band (that still runs straight from under my right eye and then forms L away from my mouth) didn t itch and the swelling and color reduced considerably. The body rashes (except the hip) are generally gone but there is bruising in their place and an occasional itch. So my question is: Is this unusual (for me) rash, and the unusual (for me) duration of this fever connected? Is the rash indicative of some unknown (to me) disorder? Thank you for your response.

dear user
...i would like to tell you that rashes of you may be because of some factors causing that need investigations.......it is suggested to have viral infection as measles and rubella that should do antibodies test for investigation and also there are some factors helps these symptoms to occur.....if you had taken medications rashes may arise from allergy of these medications...... drinking alcoholic drinks alot also cause allergic reactions of your body and help rashes increases with infection............
also sometimes rashes follow high fever or bacterial or viral infection as his immune system begin to get out that infection and some immune reaction occurs that lead in appearance of rashes and i think this is important may cause these symptoms ....so recommended to do blood culture....avoid stress and anxiety as this impair immunity..
hope that helps you
