A rash is an abnormal change in the skin. It could be caused by an infection, an inflammation, or an allergic reaction. The person who has the rash may show signs of a fever, malaise, or musculoskeletal pain.
Fast Facts:
- It may appear flat, bumpy, scaly, red, or of another color.
- It may itch or swell.
- It could burn, sting, or tingle.
- It may be due to a contagious illness, such as measles, rubella, or chickenpox.
