Does Scarlet Fever Cause Red, Burning And Peeling Rashes?

Hi, my daughter is 5 and has a red burning rash which peels on the virgina bone and under her arms. She had it about 2months ago aswell that then spread over her body and peeled. Our doctors suspected scarlett fever on a returning visit when the peeling started?? Can you please advise as we didn't know that scarlett fever was recurring??

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Most cases of scarlet fever clear up after about a week without treatment.
With treatment, most people recover in about four to five days after starting antibiotic treatment.
Without treatment, the person can be contagious for one to two weeks after symptoms appear.
It's possible to catch scarlet fever more than once, but this is rare.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
