rash
The breaking out or eruption of the skin.
Medically, a rash is referred to as an exanthem.
The word exanthem comes from the Greek exanthema which means "a breaking out".
Anthos in Greek is "a flower" particularly a flower blossom, so a child breaking out with a rash is sometimes compared to a flower that is blooming.
