Hi my little girl isnt well possible scarlet fever , she is on antibiotics just noticed before I bathed her tonight, when I took her clothes off her skin was all mottled on arms & legs purpley red like a marbling effect it only lasted a few minutes & disappeared. I noticed she had this rash also on her arms when I took her to the doctor on Thursday & she had a hight temp. should I be worried or is this normal?
