I Have Been Getting Goose Bumps And I Have A Rash.

I am 21 year old female that is over weight. Lately I have been getting goosebumps for no reason yesterday I counted 11 different occasions when they occurred today i lost count after 15. I am not cold and i am not doing anything scary. Also, I have a rash on my stomach I did some research and I think that it maybe Pityriasis rosea . It itches sometimes but not always. It has spread to my back and a little on my upper shoulder near my armpit. I quit smoking 2 weeks ago today but i cant remember if i had the rash before then or not. I just got over a really bad cold last week but I took the medicine that I normally take when I am sick. Also, my doctor just put me on Adderal 10 mg twice a day and I am also on Lexapro 20mg. I don t know what is going on with my body! I am under a great deal of stress with school, internship, my father dying last month and money in general.

Hello.
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum.
The rashes you are experiencing as well as the goosebumps both may be a result of some allergic reaction may be due to some foodstuffs. You need oral steroids to treat yourself and if this thing happens repeatedly then see a dermatologist.
