10 Symptoms of Scarlet Fever

Symptom #8: Flushed Face
Another symptom of scarlet fever is that the face can become very flushed. This is different from the distinctive rash that is so often found with the illness. This distinctive flushing can often help medical professionals to reach an initial diagnosis early on.
Besides the flushing in the face, the patient may also have a distinctive pale ring around their lips. This can further help medical professionals to determine just what the problem is. This pale ring around the lips is technically known in the medical profession as circumoral pallor.
