Had A Sore Throat, Dry Cough, Bump On The Chest, Now Bump Spreading. Itch When Sweating. Recommendations?

Hi, i got over a slight sore throat about two weeks ago. Now i have a nagging dry cough. I've noticed a bump on my chest that later spreaded into a dry brown patch. Then suddenly more appeared, one here two there now several are on ñy.chest spreading to my neck, under my breasts and the under sides of my arm. They start off bumps some red and close together others large like a lump, they spread into brown patches and itch more when i sweat. I broke out in a rash on my foot and when it went away i noticed it appeared to look like these dry patches yet only covering larger area. I thought maybe it had to do with my sugar because when i was in middle school i had only five on my arm and my endocrinologist said that might be it. Now i'm 20 and i don't know what's going on. I'm on levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and have missed some days. But now i'm taking it and i still break out. My skin and scalp are already dry because of my medication but this i don't understand. I can't see my doctor because my insurance has recently been terminated. And i have to wait three weeks before i can requalify. I'm desperate for answers and quite afraid, because i think maybe my body is rejecting my medication and last year i was in the danger zone for hypothyroidism crisis, with zero hormones and almodt went into a coma. Please help! Thank you.
