A member asked:
Body rash after a cat scratch, should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe.: Cat scratch disease is a bacterial infection that is more common in children, but does sometimes occur in adults. It usually resolves without treatment. But the cat scratch could be a coincidence, and the rash may be due to something else. See a dermatologist and find out exactly what it is.
