What Causes Body Aches And Red Spots On Forehead/chest/back/arms/neck?
I am a 41 year old male. Symptoms started as body aches, flush feeling, just feeling like no energy. A day ago i noticed what looked like the start of a pimple on my forehead. Today several red spots on forehead, upper chest, some on back, crease of arms, neck area. They dont really itch to bad. I also feel constipated at times, some belly aches and small amount of diarreha. My wife is convinced its chicken pox. I also started an anxiety med two nights ago to help me sleep. Didn't notice rash till after i started the med but the other symptoms were present the day before i started med. Started med due to lack of sleep i was getting from wearing a cpap mask at night.

Hi,
It will be better if you can upload the photos of the lesion. This will help in making diagnosis.
if chicken pox you need to take acyclovir with other symptomatic treatment. Chicken pox presents similar to flu with vesicular rashes.
It cannot be pimples as all the lesions cannot apprar in a day.
Since you started anxiety medicines this can be due to its reaction also. Without examination and knowing about medicine we can't confirm the diagnosis.
So better to upload a photo of the problem or else get examined by your doctor once.
I hope this information helps you.
Regards
