Ever had the German Measles?
Most people keep their MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccinations up to date, and so don't acquire german measles. (at least in the US). However, since it is a viral illness, there is not much she can do. Colloidal oatmeal baths may help reduce the itching. They are usually available in pharmacies in pre-packaged form. (Aveeno makes one that is very nice). If it's been awhile since you've been vaccinated for this, you need to make sure your titer levels are up, or you could catch it from your mom. Measles is heartbreaking to pregnant women, as it can result in fetal malformations or spontaneous abortion.
Does measles leave scars?
Measles can have many permanent effects, including scars. The scars would probably come from a secondary infection which can be caused by scratching.

Of course, measles has other possible permanent effects, like blindness, deafness and SSPE. It’s not a pretty disease
What are the long term effects of measles?
Measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children even though a safe and cost-effective vaccine is available.Most measles-related deaths are caused by complications associated with the disease.Complications are more common in children under the age of 5, or adults over the age of 20.Common ComplicationsCommon measles complications include ear infections and diarrhea.Ear infections occur in about one out of every 10 children with measles and can result in permanent hearing loss.Diarrhea is reported in less than one out of 10 people with measles.Severe ComplicationsSome people may suffer from severe complications, such as pneumonia (infection of the lungs) and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). They may need to be hospitalized and could die.As many as one out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children.About one child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) that can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.For every 1,000 children who get measles, one or two will die from it.Long-term ComplicationsSubacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a rare degenerative central nervous system disease believed to be due to persistent measles virus infection of the brain. Onset occurs an average of 7 years after measles (range 1 month–27 years), and occurs in five to ten cases per million reported measles cases. The onset is insidious, with progressive deterioration of behavior and intellect, followed by ataxia (awkwardness), myoclonic seizures, and eventually death. SSPE has been extremely rare since the early 1980s.Severe measles is more likely among poorly nourished young children, especially those with insufficient vitamin A, or whose immune systems have been weakened by HIV/AIDS or other diseases.In populations with high levels of malnutrition and a lack of adequate health care, up to 10% of measles cases result in death. Women infected while pregnant are also at risk of severe complications and the pregnancy may end in miscarriage or preterm delivery.People who recover from measles are immune for the rest of their lives.References: 1.

Can I masturbate while having measles?
Yes you can masturbate while having measles. The expenditure of energy while you are sick is not in your best interest , but it likely won't hurt you. What you should explore is why you are using masturbation to ease pain and trouble rather than to use your intelligence to handle those problems. Using pleasurable things to handle mental distress is why people get into drugs and alcohol to escape the pain and difficulties we all have as a natural course in life. Handling your problems in a mature intellectual fashion will reward you by your escaping the harsh pitfalls of drugs and alcohol.
