A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strep .....and..: A percentage of strep germs carry the additional genes to trigger a skin rash. It usually appears within 12 hrs of the fever, is often describes as sunburn like with a sandpaper feel. Other germs can also trigger a rash,Untreated strep throat can result in significant long term complications. i would make sure the kid is tested for strep & treated if positive.
