Scarlet Fever: The rash one gets with scarlet fever is secondary to a strep infection of your tonsils. You need to be seen and treated with antibiotics.

Take Bad Chances: Since scarlet fever is caused by a strep infection which if untreated can lead to permanant heart damage, kidney or joint damage and neurological disease, ignore at your peril. See your doctor for proper therapy!
