Rash and other nonspecific skin eruption
Widespread rashes all over the body indicate an infection or allergic reaction. Painful rashes with fever may be a sign of herpes infection. This may need evaluation by a doctor. Other rashes with fever include measles, mononucleosis, and scarlet fever. Sudden onset and rapid spreading of rash ( hives) all over the body may indicate anaphylaxis.
Hives and eczema are two common types of rash that result from an allergic reaction. Urticaria, also known as hives, occurs when something triggers high levels of histamine and other chemicals in the body to be released into the skin.
