Within 5 to 6 days a rash will appear initially starting from the facial and neck region, gradually spreading around the body. It appears as white lesions on the skin covered in mucous. (Orenstein, Perry & Hasley, 2004; White, Boldt & Jacobson, 2012; Measles, 2017). The development of measles can spread to the oral regions of the victim and seen as white spots, called Koplick spots, which develops approximately 72 hours after the rash. (Measles, 2017; White, Boldt & Jacobson, 2012).
