Red rash on lower back. a week before mild stomach ache, headache, little nausea, very mild diarrhea. can a stomach type bug cause a rash in adults?

Yes: Most transient skin rashes are viral in origin. Other common cause is contact with chemicals or metals that you are allergic to. Called contact dermatitis. Then there are many other causes of skin rashes which are less common but frequently seen.
