Dermatologist,  's  Response
hello Mrs Noel,
welcome to health care magic.
A sore throat , CLAVAMEL375, and rash on arms and legs, and abdomen without any joint pains and not involving the face dim the chances of german measles.
Drug rash due to Clavamel may also mimic measles.
If you have vaccinated your daughter for measles then complications may be less.
Since the rash is self limited you need not worry much.
You may apply a tan or a moisturizer and it may help.
take care and wish your daughter a speedy recovery.
thank you
