What Causes Pink Itchy Rashes On The Legs And Arms After Recovering From Fever?

Two days ago I started having chills with a moderate cough. Yesterday the cough got extreme and so did the chills, which then turned into a fever of 101.4. Today the extreme cough is gone the fever broke last night. Now I'm starting to get a rash on my legs and arms at the point where my arms bend. (Opposite side from elbows.) The rash is itchy and pink in color.
