Rash related to depression or past mono?

This might sound silly but here goes,

I had mono 7 years ago, and had that big creepy rash all over my body. Now, ever since I had that occasionally my body will break out in the same rash on my trunk or legs without any sort of noticable trigger. I also get sluggish/sleepy.
My question is what is the cause?

I only have a few theories...

1 Someone told me mono stays in your body and recurs during times of stress
2 I am getting treated for depression, and depression causes strange physical
symptoms sometimes
3 allergy

Does anyone have any insight on my tiny silly problem?

Thanks :]
 
I had the mono rash. I was told it was caused because I got strep throat at the same time that I had mono. The mono was undiagnosed, they treated the strep with amoxicillin and the mono and the amoxicillin reacted with one another giving me the head to toe itchy rash. It was actually the rash that got me the mono diagnosis.

Why you would still be getting the rash now, I don't know. I've never had a recurrence, myself, but I did notice that after the rash I bruised a lot more easily on my legs and that the bruises were much more painful than they ever had been before. I think mono has more lasting effects than most doctors tell us about.
