Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Your systemic symptoms are probably unrelated to your skin rashes. You could be having seborrheic dermatitis. It is a type of eczema, treated by steroid, emollients, oral antifungal etc.
Another unlikely possibility in your case could be biotin or zinc deficiency. Here one may have seborrheic dermatitis like rashes associated with diarrhoea( though unlikely possibility as you had single episode of diarrhoea)
I would advise that you meet a dermatologist for a proper evaluation.
Hope this helped.
Take care
