Suggest Treatment For Rashes And Muscle Aches
My 22 year-old daughter is having progressive muscle aches starting a couple of days ago with sore shoulders, moving down to stomach and back. Today she has a rash, mostly on her trunk. The rash is red, looking like bug bites (raised), some of them are sore, some are not. She is not aware of an actual bug bite.
