I have felt like i've had the flu over the weekend, i have also developed a rash on my hands, feet and elbow. what is this?

Flu -like rash/hands: Likely a viral illness, are there sore like canker sores in your mouth? or blisters on hands and feet ? may be Hand and foot and mouth disease. usually in younger people but can occur in adults. or may be, rickettsia disease like rocky mountain spotted fever(rare ) strep. Would follow up with doc as may want to check for strep, ricekttsia.
