Brief Answer:
gastroenteritis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the follow up.
At present you are suffering from three conditions.
1. Rash
2. Pain in right breast radiating to arm and difficulty in moving arm which could be due to compression on cervical nerves. I suggest you to get an x ray of cervical spine too along with mammogram.
3. Abdominal discomfort is probably due to gastroenteritis, an infection of stomach. Treatment can be with antibiotics.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
