Hey,
I woke up today with a rash (i think) on the corner of my right eyebrow. Its not a spot as theres no bump, It just feels like the rest of my skin. I think its a rash but generally rashs will tend to peel or have almost have like a rough feeling to it, but this doesn't. When I press gently on it I get a slight pain in my head. If it helps it looks like a redish birthmark.


I don't want to seem like an idiot but could it be meningitis?

the symptoms are

Fever / vomiting - I haven't yet but saying that ive only ever been physically sick a few times as a baby, however today I do feel sick.
Severe headache - Yes
Stiff neck - Yes
Dislike of bright lights - Not a dislike but when I look at the light my headache gets worse
sleepy - Yes (and i had a good 8hours last night)
Confused - Not that I notice
Rash - Yes
Seizures - No


Does anyone know how else I could check for symptoms of meningitis? I heard of something on the tele were you roll a glass over the rash or something.

People are going to say go the doctor, I'd rather not, I hate my doctor hes rude and just generally a person I wish not to speak to.


Any helpfull advice il +rep

thanks

I've directed this man to the Dr. he has some of the signs, not a fever- and yeh it still doesn't sound healthy. Mening. should have immunisation jabs when you were a child, he said he didn't remember if he had it.

Anyway hope it all goes well, because I can tell you that you could **** yourself over it.

went to the doctors he didn't tell me what was wrong with me he just gave me a needle, now I feel worse than I already was, if it gets any worse I'm going the hospital.

If you can move your knees to your chest when lying down you have not got meningitus. Sounds like a virus though.

It sounds like acute dermatitis. If you go to a skin specialist they will be able to diagnose it better.

Are your parents home and do you have a high temperature? Do you feel 'out of it'?

Surely the doctor would have done more/told you more than just 'giving you a needle'?
