What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In Neck Along With Outbreak Of Rashes?
My best friend had lymph nodes on her left neck swollen and aching......then the next day or two she broke out in this horrible rash on many parts of her body....some were raised a bit but mostly looking like small little discolorations...almost like little spots where blood vessels had burst....irritated and itchy though and spread all over arms, back, torso (but not breasts) chest (top) legs front and back and I believe some on her feet....also specifically (NOT) on her face. She did not come in contact with anything unusual or that she was allergic to....she did have swelling and pain in several areas that could be lymph nodes. She went to the doctor and they ran tests but could not determine what the problem was. Any thoughts????? she was out of work for several days. She does work with young children...often from disadvantaged homes.

What Causes Swollen Lymph Nodes In Neck Along With Outbreak Of Rashes?
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic It is possible that she may have a viral infection. This would cause the aches and pains that she experienced as well as a rash. The rash that occurs with viral illness is called viral exanthem. The rash should resolve along with or soon after the other symptoms. The use of paracetamol may help with the aches and pain. I hope this helps
