What Causes Rashes On Arms, Neck And Feet While Suffering From Chest Infection?

I have had quite a bad chest infection which has been giving me pain in my chest for over 2 weeks now and since Sunday I have started coming out in a blistery rash which started on my arms and has now got to the back of my neck my hands and a few on my feet. It is very itchy and I feel so tired like I have no energy!!

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The blisters rash is commonly related to a chickenpox infection.
I suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg to relieve the itching.
I also suggest using a mid cream such as Calamine lotion for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
