Question : I have a rash on my thigh and its pink and has many bumps to it. I was wondering if it was a mononucleosis rash or can it be something else.
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
This is not a mononucleosis rash rather it is an insect bite which has deteriorated because of damp area nearby.
You need to apply lactocalamine lotion over the affected area in a thick layer and let it dry then wash it by ample amount of water for twice a day.
Also take tablet cetrizine twice a day for two days.
In case the redness increases or it starts itching then visit a dermatologist as soon as possible.
In case you have other questions I will be happy to help.
