Because the scarlet fever releases exotoxins into your body... The rash is your body's allergic reaction to those exotoxins. And it usual takes six to nine days for your body to remove the exotoxins so that is why the rash stays for so long... hope this helps
Yes the rash can last up to 6 days or so.
It's not the "fever" part that gives Scarlet Fever it's name it's the rash and the red (scarlet) face that comes with it. Obviously you can have a fever with Scarlet fever...but not always. improved answer: Yes, you always get a fever with scarlet fever. scarlet is the colour of the rash and fever is what comes with it.

Coat yourself with butter then lay in the sun for 2 hours
No. Scarlet fever (called Scarlatina in days gone by) is defined as a particular rash in the setting of a proven streptococcal infection. Usually, this is strep pharyngitis (sore throat), but it can be any strep infection (skin, etc). The rash is pretty classic, involving the face with sparing of the area around the mouth and lips (peri-oral pallor - because the area looks pale compared to the rest of the face), and involving the creased areas more than others (armpits, groin folds, etc). The rash also feels very rough to the touch - leading it to be called a "sandpaper rash." I saw a patient with this last week :)
it really depends on how bad the sunburn was. my advice would be to but lots of aloe on it and a good thick lotion..like cetaphil Sunburn itch will last as long as you have blisters on burned skin
I'm not sure wher scarlet fever started, but are you aware that it is just strep throat presenting with a rash?
Rashes on the chest and thighs area, coughing, fever of course, flushed face and runny nose.
