Hello, my name is Nissa and I wanted to ask you regarding dengue fever since I live in a wide spreaded area of dengue so that is why iam a bit curious to know. I checked the symptoms and as to my info there was only one symptom that matched my condition for now and that was rashes since i do feel itchy often and scratch myself and cuz of that there are red spots but from my information there is only one spot that I could detect so I kind of wanted to know that if I should be alert about it or not. Thankyou for your time
Hello, I understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor, infectious disease specialist, answering your concern. Single red spot on the skin never be a dengue. I advise you to undergo dengue testing, and platelet counting. Rashes usually appears in dengue positive cases and when platelet goes down below normal range. Dengue rash are itchy, but it is also associated with high fever and severe joint pain. In absence of such a symptoms' dengue is not a possibility. Glad to answer your further concern. You can contact me on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor.  Thank you, ChatDoctor
