A member asked:

What does a rash after the flu or cold (had a fever) indicate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Rashes after: or during viral illness are common especially in children. It is important to determine whether the rash preceded or came after the original infection. Usually theses rashes are self limiting and go away as your body fights off the infection. You should check with your primary doc if these symptoms change or worsen in any way,
