A member asked:
Does slapped cheek rash appear like measles rash?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No.: First of all, the measles rash does not spare forehead and chin. Secondly, the measles rash comes in the middle of a violent illness with fever, cough, headache, ear and eye infections; with slapped cheek rash, generally, what you see is what you get.

No : Measles tends to appear as small spots whereas the rash of erythema infectiosum characteristically appears as a solid redness on the cheek (slapped cheek) with lacy like red spots or blotches on the extremities.

No: With measles there are discrete lesions. When slapped it can leave a pink, raised area of skin.
