Dermatologists use the glass test to identify dangerous causes of rashes including meningitis and vasculitis. Press a clear glass against the rash. Most rashes will blanch to be skin color. Many serious rashes including the one associated with menignitis will not blanch. If accompanied by fever or other symptoms, seek medical care right away. #glasstest #meningitis #dermtips #dermatologist #mothers #parents #fyp
