Hi doctor,
I had a pink rash on my lower back. I had a glass on and put pressure on it, and it fade. Is it a sign of meningitis? I do not have fever or headache. I feel weak at 6 PM, and my neck feel so heavy.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- It is highly unlikely to be a meningitis. Meningitis presenting only with rash and no other symptoms like headache, fever, etc., is unlikely.
- Meningococcal meningitis has rash in some cases, but patient will be very sick and toxic. So, do not worry about meningitis.
- Weakness is a very common and non-specific symptom. It will not lead to any specific diagnosis.
- Now, for rash, it could be a viral infection, insect bites or if long standing may be a hemangioma. You need to upload the snapshot of it or get it examined by the local doctor.
