my lil brother has the measles, :[

hes only 10, thing is none of have had them at all. and im 23. what are the chances of me cathcing it too, and does it leave behind any scars or marks? i had chicken pox when i was 17 which thankfully didnt leave behind any marks, was wondering what the measles are like. so far hes ok, its jsut day 3.

and of course im even more in a state, because of my pending marriage, i do not want marks from this now to be visible.esp on face,please god dont do this to me noowww :

THANKS

Hello,
Some times measles do leave pigmentation marks which resolved over the period of time.

Re: my lil brother has the measles, :

your brother shouldnt have measles if he had MMR jab, if you have the jab, then you will be fine. otherwise there is chance with close contact.
