Children get many different kinds of rashes-many, though not all, related to infections. Below are
descriptions and photos of rashes associated with fever.
Varicella
The rash, also known as chicken pox, starts on the trunk and spreads
to the extremities and head.
Each lesion progresses from an erythematous macule to papule
to vesicle to pustule, and then crusts over.
Lesions at various stages of development are seen in the same area of
the body.
There is usually a mild fever.
The disease is self-limited, lasting about a week.
Immunization is effective in preventing this infection.
