I've had what I assume is 'flu for the last six days and have now developed a rash on the inside of both arms. Can anyone tell me whether this is a fairly common or garden symptom to accompany a virus, or whether it signifies something that I should get checked out?
Other symptoms are:
Fever (more or less gone)
Cough (improving)
Congestion / runny nose (improving)
Mild sickness and diarrhea, loss of appetite (more or less gone now)
I feel like I'm improving and in a few more days should be roughly ok, but this rash is a weird addition to the standard list of 'flu symptoms. It's quite similar to eczema (which I've never had), I think. I'm early 50s and otherwise healthy.
It's a nightmare to get an appointment with my GP, and 111 is useless, which is why I'm asking here first. Thanks!
