Hello,

Delighted to be able to help.

Rash like petechiae along with fatigue, headache and pain in several joints suggest autoimmune disease or Vasculitis. You should go as soon as possible to a specialist doctor in Internal Medicine.
He will examine you and will request additional tests (blood tests) toconfirm or exclude the mentioned diagnoses.
