I have flu type symptoms and now have a round red rash on my chest and back only! i have never had a rash with the flu before, is this the flu i have?

Unlikely: Influenza would not cause a rash such as you describe. Have the rash checked out by your doctor or a dermatologist. Possibilities include lyme disease and ring worm/dermatophyte infection.
