Ok this is totally in the wrong place but
I know people actually visit this forum
& I need answers fairly quickly.. I
have a weird pinprick rash on my arm in
three places (like little groups of spots)
& they don't disappear when I press a
glass tumbler on them. I feel fine
otherwise, but it's still bothering me.
I'll post a pic of it, because it looks
weird & I've never seen a rash like it
before.
Jonny thinks I'm overreacting, but I'm
pregnant & if it's serious I don't
wanna just leave it. If you've ever seen
anything like this I'd appreciate your
reply.

If it doesn't disappear with the glass
test then you really need to see your
doctor. It's unlikely to be Meningitis
because I'd have thought you'd be feeling
pretty ill right now if it was but you
have to be sure!
Get an appointment asap!

my fiancee had some spots like that on his
arms, back and chest, it looked weird, and
we thought it was either bed bug bites,
but we wash our sheets and change them
every other day, then we thought it could
be an allergic reaction to the detergent
we use to wash our clothes.
Do you use the powder detergent? or the
liquid soap?
if powder, you might be using a little too
much powder to wash your clothes, or might
be allergic to the type of soap you use.
Go to a doctor though to see what it could
be.
Try rubbing Aloe on the areas and see if
that helps.

oh_mommy go to this link, it discribes
what the glass test is. I was curious
about what it was too.
Well I managed to baffle the doctors. But
they just sent me home & told me not
to worry.. even though they didn't know
what it was. Never mind.. it seems to be
fading slightly & it doesn't itch or
anything, so I'm just going to leave it.

I really have no idea, Zan. I'm glad to
hear it seems to be clearing up though!
