Hi, I had a fever for a couple of days, them developed a purple pin prick rash on day 3 on all 10 of my fingers. This was accompanied by heat sensitivity and stabing pain. The rest of my body is rather itchy with the odd red risen rash. My feet have went the same as my hands on day 4. Now on day 6 with little improvement. Doc said he had no idea and prescribed an antibiotic. Generally feel tired and uncomfortable... Any idea what its causing this?
Hi. As per your case history you are having viral exanthem (skin rashes that occur along with viral fever) My treatment advice is -1. Don't worry. It is a self-limiting condition.2.  Chat Doctor.  Have food rich in vitamin C.3. Take a vitamin C 500\u00a0mg tablet daily once. Continue antibiotic as prescribed for 7 days.4. Take an antihistamine like levocetrizine twice daily and apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion twice daily. Recovery is usually seen in 7-10 days. Thanks.
