A blotchy, sometimes raised, rash is one of the signs of measles. It’s not usually itchy, and it can look different on different skin tones. 🧒🏼🔴🧒🏾 If you think you or your child has measles, contact your GP practice urgently or call NHS 111. 📞

Measles can have serious consequences and, tragically, on rare occasions can be fatal. It is still common in many countries worldwide. Before you travel, make sure you and your loved ones are up to date with MMR/MMRV vaccinations. For more info ➡️ nhs.uk/MMR
