Adult Measles

Measles

The measles rash first appears as tiny white spots, surrounded by red spots inside the mouth. Then you'll probably get a reddy/brown spotty rash on the body which starts at the head and moves downwards. Measles can sometimes be serious so it's best to get a diagnosis from your GP but call the surgery first if you suspect it, as they might prefer you to not come in.
