Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
I know that you are very concerned about your child but don't worry.
The rash that you have described and the way they have appeared, it points very much towards possibility of measles.
Fever for two days before the rash also goes in favour of measles.
I think you should take some good pictures of the lesions and send to us for confirmation of diagnosis.
I hope this will help you.
Take care.
