Is Flying Safe While Having Red Rash All Over The Body?

I awoke at 5:00 this morning to a light pink rash all over my body. There was itching and my skin felt warm and my joint are achy. Now the rash has lightened, but the tops of my feet are covered in a reddish rash. I have body aches, am listless, and my lower back hurts. I m due to fly to my grandson s wedding tomorrow. Should I travel?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Yes you may travel but first go to your physician and get some treatment for the rash. It is necessary because physical examination is very important in this case. Rash and skin diseases are easy to treat if you actually see them.

Alternatively have a follow-up with me and add some pictures of the rash so as to assist you quickly and in a better way with some OTC medications which you may also take with you at your trip to wedding. Have a safe journey and stay blessed.


Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime. In the start of your question write my name, and I will get back to you in no time. If satisfied, please click you found it helpful.

Have a wonderful time ahead.


Best Regards!
