What Do Rashes On The Stomach, Arms And Legs Indicate?

I have a rash on my stomach, arms and the back of my legs. They are raised red patches, little circles or rectangles. They don t itch, and I don t have any trouble breathing. I can t feel them in any way, except I feel like there is a scratchy wool blanket I ve been laying on.
