10 Symptoms of Rheumatic Fever
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #3: Skin Bumps
When looking for the cause of an illness, a doctor will often want to look over the patient’s skin, and for very good reasons. The skin will often show tell-tale signs of a specific illness, helping the professional to find the right treatment, quickly. In the case of rheumatic fever, an inspection of the skin can also help the professionals diagnose the problem.
People with rheumatic fever will usually have small bumps, or nodules, under the skin. These are usually small and painless, meaning that they might not even be noticed until a full inspection is made. If you do notice them yourself, you should let a doctor know.
