Yes, the rash associated with strep throat is called scarlet fever or scarletina. It is a rough, red, sandpaper like rash, and can be accompanied by a fever over 101, aches/pains, headache, nausea/vomiting, stomachache, sore throat or difficulty swallowing/swollen throat, and swollen lymph nodes on the neck. If you think you may have strep throat, please seek medical attention to get antibiotics.
Scarlet fever is essentially a strept throat with a distinct, rough-sand-paper like rash. Since it is a bacterial infection, an antibiotic is needed to improve symptoms - improvement that should occur over a 48 hour period. However, the rash may last up to 7 days.
