Hi

In the absence of fever, flu like symptoms, eye redness and sore throat then we have to consider allergic reactions and allergic dermatitis. If you have previous allergies or history of allergies and eczematous skin conditions, then this may be associated with these. However, it is best to ascertain any possible triggers for the skin rash. At this point, we have to rule out a viral infection or an underlying bleeding disorder. Bleeding problems like decreased platelet count that may be brought about by viral infections or medication side effects may present as  a generalized rash.

I suggest that a complete blood count be done as well as levels of PT, aPTT and INR be determined.
