A member asked:

Can strep throat cause a rash?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Scarletina: Scarlet fever is the combination of strep infection in the throat and rash to the skin (usually face). Rashes can also occur with strep throat when an allergic reaction to the antibiotic prescribed for it occurs.
