What Causes Red Rashes On The Arms And Legs?
I have over 30 red welts on my legs and a few on my torso and arm. Some are small and flat, some are raised and sensitive with a tip at the top. This occured over a night or two during a time that I m having night sweats every night along with other persistent symptoms of stomach pain and loose bowels. On both knees there appears to be a particularily large, tender bump. The bumps themselves do not itch. My legs ache and my joints are stiff. What do you think these are?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Possible causes for your symptoms may be systemic disease like vasculitis syndromes or porphyria or rash due to connective tissue disorders or thrombocytopenia or Infection etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. It may be individual entity like viral fever with arthralgia with thrombocytopenia etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Use paracetamol thrice a day for five days. use tablet pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Get stool examination is done, use paracetamol for body pains. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
