Reddish Rash On Back, Skin Turns White When Applying Pressure. Cause?

I have a strange type od rash ...best word I know to desciribe it. Most of my back is covered in purplish, reddish markings it reminds me of what your skin can look like when your pale & very cold and you can see the veins through the skin but it s much bright/darker than that. When I touch it my skin turns white then when I let up pressure it comes right back. What could be causing this!?
