Recurring Breakout Starting From Joints Spreading To Rest Of The Body. Viral?

I broke out about a week and a half ago starting from all my joints, knees , arms, and then the topss of my feet to my ankles. It started to reside after about two days and today it came back. It started with my head under my hair then it went to my forearms and now it's all over my knees, thighs, hands, wrists, arms, and back of my knock and a little on my face. Do you think it's a viral infection?

Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic forum.
Thank you for your query
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem.
It look like you have allergic condition.
But as it involve joint also we have to rule out rheumatic also.
Vasculitis is another condition we have to think about.
You need to consult doctor for proper treatment.
If there is itching, you can take anti histaminic medicine.
Stress, infection,heredity are common reasons for it.
Avoid sun exposure and wear loose and cotton cloths.
We should know about family history of the similar condition.
I do not think it is viral infection.
I hope I answered your question.
Regards
I find this answer helpful
