Could strep throat cause a skin rash?

Sometimes: Some strains of group a streptoccus have the added ability to create a toxin that amoung other effects can cause a rose colored sandpapery rash. Not all straind do.If it does it will usually emerge within 12-24 hours after the fever triggered by the strep infection.
