Strange mark appeared on ds wrist

[notabingthing]

I have major health anxiety so have convinced myself it’s a meningitis rash. It’s not is it ?!

How can anyone possibly tell you from this post with no picture?

There is a picture

I think photos take a little while to get approved by mumsnet before posting….

was the child wearing a watch or school shirt or anything for PE that could have collected sweat? Seems just like that… I dunno what that rash is called? Heat rash?

If it was a sepsis rash then he'd probably be very unwell. Is he? Does the rash blanch under a glass?

If he had meningitis, then a non blanching rash is one if the last symptoms to appear. Does he have a fever? Any other symptoms? Or feeling fine?

Rash in meningitis is often a late stage, critical sign. Is your child unwell?

Read and consider NHS information before making a judgement www.nhs.uk/conditions/meningitis/symptoms/

Looks like a weird sort of bruise I get sometimes. I've noticed a dotty/pinprick area on my shoulder if I've carried a heavy bag with a thin strap over my shoulder.

Is your child very unwell? What are his symptoms?

But no it doesn’t look like a meningitis rash. Doesn’t particularly look like a rash at all to be honest

Looks like something has pressed against it, like a popper or button.

No he’s not unwell at all, his siblings have a virus but he hasn’t complained of being ill which normally he’s very vocal about ! The rash doesn’t blanch and that’s what freaked me out.
It did appear after he ate some watermelon

Looks like a scratch

Looks like the makes I get when I have a bag on that shoulder and scrape it on and off my arm putting it down, as a pp says. Meningitis rash usually last symptom I think.
