== Diagnosis ==
Diagnosing exanthem involves:
* '''Clinical Examination''': Assessing the type, location, and pattern of the rash.
* '''Medical History''': Reviewing symptoms and exposure to potential triggers.
* '''Laboratory Tests''': Blood tests, throat swabs, or skin biopsies, if necessary.

== Treatment ==
Treatment of exanthem varies based on the underlying cause:
* '''Viral Exanthems''': Generally require no treatment, as they resolve on their own.
* '''Bacterial Infections''': Treated with antibiotics.
* '''Allergic Reactions''': Managed with antihistamines or steroids.
* '''Supportive Care''': Includes hydration and fever management.

== Prevention ==
Preventive measures include:
* '''Vaccinations''': Against diseases like measles and rubella.
