Question
I am 26 years old with one 5yr old child my last period started on the 4th oct i now have a inflamed very itchy red rash on most of my body. really bad on the tops of my legs inside my elbows and near my armpits. this morning i am also itchy in my throat and nose. i have been immunised against rubella.  the rash first appeared on sunday and last night i discovered i have lots of small white pimples accross the back of my shoulders

Answer
You, obviously, have some sort of viral illness or allergic reaction. White vessicles or pimples may be evidence of chicken pox or some other illness. If your last period started on October 4, you may be pregnant. In that case, the rash may be PUPP (pruritic, urticarial papules of pregnancy) and you should definitely contact a dermatologist to start some steroid cream treatment. Don't wait until it gets out of hand.
