*Punctate red macules on the hard and soft palate and uvula (ie, Forchheimer spots).

====Rash====
*Characteristic rash, which:

:*appears 12–48 hours after the fever
:*generally starts on the chest, axilla (armpits), and behind the ears
:*is worse in the [[skin fold]]s
:*Pastia lines (where the rash becomes confluent in the arm pits and groins) appear and persist after the rash is gone
*The rash begins to fade three to four days after onset and [[desquamation]] (peeling) begins. "This phase begins with flakes peeling from the face. Peeling from the palms and around the fingers occurs about a week later and can last up to a month." Peeling also occurs in axilla, groin, and tips of the fingers and toes.
