I know I'm a bit late to the party, but thank you so much for this... I was confused why 18month old son had symptoms of measles when hes already been vaccinated against it and the rash didnt look right.
After 3 days of a high fever (highest being 103.0) and treating him with tylenol and motrin it finally stopped today, then getting him ready for the bath I start freaking out because hes covered in a rash...
Couldnt figure out how on earth he caught anything.
Then it occured to me, the last two weekends in a row hes been spending time with his cousins who both attend daycare... Looked up pictures of rashes, nothing matched... except this.
did have one question, did any of you notice when they had the rash around the neck and face that it went up into the hairline? I noticed when washing his hair tonight that the rash was on his scalp as well (I thought maybe it was a heat rash, but it didnt match up)
