Any rash is generally a sign of an infection. It is your body reacting to something that is not quite right.
Well, actually most rashes result from a histimine reaction -- being allergic to something. That would include eating something, walking through something, new cologne/soap/laundry detergent, or any other contact with an irritant. Some are a result of a virus (like chickenpox or measles), some are a result of abrasion, and some can even be brought on by anxiety. Benadryl can be very helpful in controlling itch and the rash itself. Washing with antibacterial soap can help keep the bumps from getting infected, especially if it itches and you scratch it.
Glad to hear you're feeling better! Maybe file this stuff away for another day? Ya never know what might happen...

Hmm... major overlook on my part. Thank you for pointing that out, as it is a very important aspect to consider. What is cute, though is that I have an allergic rash on my hand, had it when I posted that. Don't know why I forgot it, but thanks again for bringing it up. Mistakes happen, that is one reason why a large community of people helps- to fix them.
