Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It may be due to viral fever with rash or allergic reaction to contraceptives or scarlet fever or leptospirosis or gonococcal infection etc.
Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. use tablet Paracetamol thrice a day for five days. Drink plenty of liquid , avoid soaps and lotions that aggravate rash.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
