Sign #5: Rash
Rashes are another fairly common symptom that many people will experience. They are often caused by something that comes into contact with the skin, such as an allergen or irritating chemicals or fabrics. They can also be caused internally by pathogens and similar. As such, a rash will sometimes accompany strep throat.
The rash that is associated with strep throat is a sign of scarlet fever. It occurs as red bumps on the skin, and tends to be found on the torso, chest, and neck. Rashes can be a sign of a wide variety of potentially serious conditions so they should be checked out if you are unsure.
