14 Common Signs & Symptoms of Rubella

3. Rash

A rash is one of the most characteristic symptoms of three-day measles, and it’s one of the first symptoms that can indicate which condition you are suffering from. If you experience any of the symptoms that are mentioned in this article together with a rash, the symptoms can be treated as they appear – and it’s likely that the rash will disappear as soon as the initial infection gets treated.

When you have a rash because of the rubella virus, it’s likely that the rash starts on the face. The rash then usually continues to spread to the rest of the body like the arms and legs, and then the rash will start to fade – again, usually with the face first.

The rash is best left alone, and things like scratching (even when it’s itching) can only serve to make the condition worse; itching can be treated with adding oats to a bath in order to neutralize the effect of the rash, and in extreme cases, a cream or preparation can be prescribed by a doctor to bring some relief.
