See your PCP: Whereas MFP is a disorder involving regional muscles, FM is a generalized systemic condition that is characterized by widespread aching or pain throughout the body, notably in the weight bearing muscles. It has nothing to do with your skin rush. See your PCP for evaluation and blood work.

Probably not: fibromyalgia, surely you had your inflammatory panel done and it was all Negative? Has Lupus, RA, PMR, Rosacea all been ruled out? Was it your Rheumatologist who gave you a Fibromyalgia diagnosis? Fibromaylgia is really a diagnosis of exclusion. See your Doctor and get some labs if you have not done so already.

Not from fibromyal: rashes should not be caused by fibromyalgia...although meds used to treat it can cause rashes

Yes and no.: Fibromyalgia has many cases, some of which include chronic infections and co-infections that need detailed workups. (for example Lymes and it's associated co-infections can be a cause)

Rash: Rash is not associated with Fibromyalgia. You might want to think back to recent med changes, changes in facial soaps or Make-up. An eval by Dermatology would help with narrowing this down.
