This image shows a close-up of a person’s neck and lower face, covered in a red, blotchy rash characteristic of measles. The rash consists of small, raised red spots that are densely clustered, giving the skin an inflamed and irritated appearance. The person is wearing a light-colored shirt, and the background is blurred, likely indoors. Measles rashes typically start on the face and spread downward to the rest of the body. The disease is highly contagious and can cause serious complications, especially in children and those with weakened immune systems. This image visually highlights the impact of measles and underscores the importance of vaccination to prevent outbreaks.
