A member asked:

I have brown, dry spots that i was told was scarlet fever residue. i am 59, i was 8 when i had the fever. they cover my body from my knees to my neck?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can't accept that: I have seen & treated scarlet fever over decades and followed the patients for years afterward.I have never seen any skin discoloration as a long term consequence of this problem.The rash,when it arises is temporary.The skin,renews itself over the years and by the time decades have past,you have new surface cells & many imperfections (environmental exposures) that were never present in childhood.
