General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, I understand your concern.
Your husband has measles so there are chances that you can get infection from him as this is communicable disease. If you are vaccinated with measles then you need not to worry otherwise avoid going very close to him and wash your face and hands repeatedly with water. Keep a mask on his and your face.
Second the red spots on your legs may be due to some mild allergy. You dont have any symptom so you need not worry. If itching is there you may take antihistaminic tablet.
Hope this will help you.
