What Do Rashes On The Neck And Chest Indicate?

Yes, I have a rash on my neck and chest. It is burning and my ears also feel like they are on fire. I woke up with an extremely sore throat, however it feels better now. I have rinsed with salt water a couple of times today and drank a lot of hot lemon tea with honey. What could this rash be?
