Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of headache along with red, itchy and raised spots on upper arm. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like viral infection, lyme disease , influenza , coxsackie virus infection or sunburn. Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. I would suggest you to take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain , apply cold compresses on rashes to reduce redness and itchiness and take benadryl twice a day . If condition doesn't get better then consult general practitioner for proper checkup , doctor may order blood test . Doctor may prescribe antiviral like acyclovir.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
