Dermatology - Blotches


Expert: Uribe - 6/18/2009

Question
I recently had the Flu...Swine Flu rapid test came back negative.  My temperature at it's highest was 103.8 degree's while on Tamiflu.  I finally took a cold bath the crush the fever, which worked.  While I remained on the Tamiflu I needed to take Advil for headaches I was having as a side effect.  I have been off the Tamiflu for 6 days now, but for the past 6 days I have medium size Red / purpleish blotches all over my chest, back and legs.  They do not itch or hurt, but look awful.  Any ideas as to what may have caused it and if it will eventually go away?

Thanks
