Sounds like a yeast infection with the rash. Does the baby have white spots on his tonsils? That is strep throat. If he has strep take him to the doctor.
Yes, the rash associated with strep throat is called scarlet fever or scarletina. It is a rough, red, sandpaper like rash, and can be accompanied by a fever over 101, aches/pains, headache, nausea/vomiting, stomachache, sore throat or difficulty swallowing/swollen throat, and swollen lymph nodes on the neck. If you think you may have strep throat, please seek medical attention to get antibiotics.
Scarlet fever is essentially a strept throat with a distinct, rough-sand-paper like rash. Since it is a bacterial infection, an antibiotic is needed to improve symptoms - improvement that should occur over a 48 hour period. However, the rash may last up to 7 days.
Have other tests run to see if anything else could be causing the rash.

Rashes associated with strep infections primarily include scarlet fever rash, characterized by a bright red, sandpaper-like texture, and typically follows a strep throat infection. Other rashes can include impetigo, which presents as honey-colored crusted sores, and occasionally a generalized rash in cases of streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. These rashes often require medical evaluation to confirm the underlying strep infection and appropriate treatment.
Among other things, it could be shingles (which might be contagious).
