Katherine:
Yes, there are several variants of what is called vasculitis, or inflammation of the blood vessels.
Most rashes "look" contagious, especially red ones, even more especially in food-service contexts. I am confident that your co-worker's physician wouldn't let him back to work with a contagious condition. As for the customers, if your superiors aren't worried about putting them off, I think you be relaxed about it.
Best.

i would have hoped you could be more specific with your answer, i am still not comfortable, i also know he is gay, and i just think you could have eased my fears more than you did, such as a name of such conditions. i would recognize it if i heard it , but thank you
that is not the name he gave for the condition
my superiors did not look into it that much because they are constantly short on help, i am really worried about this probably more so than they are
Katherine, you sound a bit paranoid. Although being cautious is understandable the doctor gave you sound advice and futher advised that "if your superiors aren't concerned then you should relax." If your co-worker's condition concerns you that much then maybe you should seek employment elsewhere and stop trying to find fault in someone just because of their sexual preference.
