Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum
In short: It may be related or may not be related, can be differentiated only if I can examine you
Explanation: Every one loses appetite and feels weak after viral infection. If the viral infection was associated with your so called spots/rash then may be measles/chicken pox/herpes.
Or else if was accidentally found later or was present previously then may be fungal infection(Tinea vericolor).
Visit a doctor to clear your doubt, it is extremely difficult to diagnose without seeing this.
