I got these rashes on my arms and chest after the fever from the flu. Is it normal to have a rash like this? What's causing this?

It is also possible that while you had the flu you came into contact with a chemical or toxin; or took medication or ate or drank something that you're allergic to.
If the rash continues when you're over the flu, you could get a basic cream for exczema from the pharmacy and try it for say, 3 days. If it doesn't improve, then see a dermatologist.
