Rash on legs and arms

I have made a Docs appnt but the earliest I could get was for 2 weeks from now! I am concerned about a rash that I have developed in the last 2 days and was wondering if someone could let me know if this is something I should be worried about based on my symptoms.

Here is what is going on with me: I woke up with a rash Saturday morning (no other symptoms before that time), the spots are mainly on my legs (mostly around the ankles and thigh region), they are about the size of a pin-needle head, reddish in color, not itchy and not raised or textured; there is also a small area with the same spots on the underside of my arms, but they seem to be going away. Also, I am not sure if it is related or not, but I began feeling ankle and knee pain around the same time that I noticed the rash. In addition, I have a small cough, but I believe this to be a carry-over from a cold that I had a week or two ago.

If someone could help me I'd really appreciate it!

Re: Rash on legs and arms

Maybe check out photos of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I believe this can cause a similar rash on the arms and legs.
