Gah, FIFTH DISEASE

Kaaay,

Oookay.

So.

Ive been having a rash on my neck for hmmm....5 DAYS!

1st day, I thought it was the scarf I was wearing.
2nd day, still had the rash
3rd day, still had the rash, spread a little on my back
4th day, spread behind my ears and ALL over the left side of my back and on my cheek and thigh
5th day, Here on medhelp scratching the hell out of myself...

Anyhow I think I might have fifth disease because Ive been sick w/ soar/sore throat and my glands are swollen. & Im ITCHY!!
& I work w/ children so....

GAH!

Could it be?


*Pleaaaseee dont go OFF topic*

I agree with Londres70.  Sounds like a trip to the doctor is a good next step.

This doesn't sound like Adult Fifth Disease.  Sounds more like a Strep infection OR it could be two different issues, i.e. Contact Dermatitis and a throat infection; not sure.

Anyhow.....

Consult your physician ASAP about this.  You can try OTC Benadryl for the itch and salt water gargles for your throat.
