Can a virus cause you to get a really bad skin rash?

i began to get sick with an upper respiratory infection several days ago, and this morning I woke up with this miserable rash !! Mostly on my arms and legs(so far) Could this have to do with my virus somehow???


Thanks!!!|||Are you taking antibiotics for the infection? If you are, then I would see your doctor right away to make sure you are not having an allergic reaction to the antibiotic.





As for the infection causing a rash, probably not. More likely that you have developed a secondary skin infection, which can happen when your immune system is under stress.





Good Luck and I hope you feel better soon.|||Are you on meds? Sounds like a reaction. Call the DR!|||A virus can cause many different reactions.


Sometimes loss of hearing ,for one . As per TV Specials .
