A serious complication of Scarlet fever is Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis, an acute kidney disease causing blood in the urine, increase blood pressure and generalized swelling, especially the face. This kidney problem appears 10 to 14 days after the skin infection.
Scarlet Fever is a communicable disease that is highly contagious. It is much more serious than strep throat. Persons with Scarlet Fever may experience high fever, chills, severe ear aches, and rash. Death may occur. Often while recovering the skin may peal.

Most children will recover fully within a week or so, even without treatment. (However, it is best to have treatment - see below.) The sore throat and fever last a few days, and then usually ease. The rash lasts about six days, and then usually fades away. As the rash fades, some of the skin may peel, mainly on the hands and feet (a bit like after being sunburnt).

Often leaves a clear spot around mouth.

Maybe a Doctor could give better description.

Scarlet fever is a disease caused by exotoxin released by Streptococcus pyogenes. The term scarlatina may be used interchangeably with scarlet fever, though it is commonly used to indicate the less acute form of scarlet fever that is often seen since the beginning of the twentieth century.[1]
It is characterized by:
Diagnosis of scarlet fever is clinical. The blood test shows marked leukocytosis with neutrophilia and conservated or increased eosinophils, high erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP), and elevation of antistreptolysin O titer. Blood culture is rarely positive, but the streptococci can usually be demonstrated in throat culture. The complications of scarlet fever include septic complications due to spread of streptococcus in blood and immune-mediated complications due to an aberrant immune response. Septic complications, today rare, include ear and sinus infection, streptococcal pneumonia, empyema thoracis, meningitis and full-blown sepsis, upon which the condition may be called malignant scarlet fever.
Immune complications include acute glomerulonephritis, rheumatic fever and erythema nodosum. The secondary scarlatinous disease, or secondary malignant syndrome of scarlet fever, includes renewed fever, renewed angina, septic ear, nose, and throat complications and kidney infection or rheumatic fever and is seen around the eighteenth day of untreated scarlet fever.
scarlet fever was discovered in the 1700's
