Scarlette fever rash???
DD broke out into a random rash almost 3 weeks ago. I took her to the pedi and they said I looked like a viral rash. A few days later I found out that my 8 month old niece has Scarlette fever. We were there to visit only a few days to a week before she was diagnosed. I immediately called the pedi and they said that they don't think that's what DD has because it's rare in babies. I made her another appointment for tomorrow anyway and said I wanted a swab test done.
Fast forward to today. Dd still has the rash. I showered tonight and I now see it all over the underneaths of my arms. It burned so bad when the water hit it.
Does anyone have experience in this? I feel like the dr is just gonna keep saying its a viral rash. I also don't have insurance for myself right now as I'm about to go back to school and dh just started a new job so I'm not sure what I can do for myself.
Tia.
Re: Scarlette fever rash???
My dh had scarlet fever a few yrs back. He actually thought he had strep throat at first because his throat just hurt but later that night he broke out in a rash all over.
He said the rash looked like it was "under his skin". Different than any other he had before. I don't think it ever burned though, it mainly just itched. He also had a fever.
If you're feeling fine otherwise, I would think you're ok. But definitely keep an eye on it and if you are really concerned you should get it checked out.
