Rash and joint pain

Rash and joint pain

My 9 year old daughter has a rash on her legs and is complaining that her feet and ankles hurt. The rash was just small dots randomly on her legs now the ones by her ankles have gotten bigger(1/2 inch) and look like they have a ring around them. Her feet are very tender to touch and she has pain and some swelling in her ankles.  I took her to urgent care and they told me to take her to a dermatologist tomorrow. She mentioned maybe an auto-immune problem which scares me. Any help or comforting words would be great!
