How long can a viral rash last?

DS has had a rash for about a week now and as he seemed a bit off colour but not poorly I've not done anything about it, assuming its just a viral thing as both me and DH were also feeling a bit rough last week. Well a week has passed and the rash is still there, it seems a bit itchy for him but not bothering him too much, does anyone know how long a viral rash lasts, as don't feel the need to go to the docs with him but am wondering whether its gone on too long now!

my ds2 used to get rashes every time he had a cold,they never lasted more than 2 or 3 days apart from once when he had a rash for about 2 weeks.i did take him to the doctors after 5 days,they were concerned it could be measles at first but about 3 gps looked at it and concluded it was a strep ear/throat infection.
