Without more: ...information, I can't give you much in return. In general, a rash which "comes out of nowhere" comes out of somewhere. Allergic reactions such as contact dermatitis and hives can do this. Also, irritation from soaps, detergents, hot water, clothing etc. can cause intermittent splotchy redness of the skin. If you can figure out a pattern, that may help narrow down the cause. Dr. Anne.

Can't say: These lesions would need to be examined, a history obtained & other tests may be necessary in order to diagnose them. Usually the lesions needs to be identified to determine the solution.
