Hi,

The petechial rash could be due to a bleeding abnormality. Bleeding abnormality, in turn, could be a primary disease or could be a secondary effect to an autoimmune disease.

Also, make sure that you are not on any drug that could lead to bleeding abnormality. Hip pain and petechia together may be associated with an autoimmune disease or could be not related to each other.
I recommend you to consult your Dermatologist as soon as possible for further workup.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
