Accepted Answer

Viral rash: Many viruses can cause a rash in addition to other symptoms such as fever and cough. Many of these rashes are  not specific or characteristic enough to identify the virus. The viral rash itself is not usually serious.  But it is very important to make sure the rash is not part of a serious infection such a meningococcal infection. If you have any concerns then contact your doctor immediately.

Thigh rash: your rash could be an allergic reaction, fungal infection or some kind of folliculitis (inflammation/infection around your hair follicles).  Could also be a viral infection such as common warts.  Infections are typically painful and swollen and can spread quickly if not treated.

Road rash: Road rash is usually a self limited problem and rarely requires a doctors visit.  The development of red bumps changes things.  I would see your doctor to ensure you haven't developed an infection.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Monitor situation: Without seeing your leg it is difficult to determine what if anything this might be.  I would say you should continue to monitor the situation.  If they start to itch or get bigger than have a physician look at it.

Doctor to examine: Rashes, bumps, and spots are difficult to describe in words. Generalized spots may be part of an allergic reaction or an infection. "Generalized" means the rash is all over the body. Bluish or purplish spots are blood spots and likely would need blood testing. Sometimes, spots have unknown causes. A primary care doctor or dermatologist can examine both the rash and the patient, to find a cause.
