How Long Does Dengue Fever With Arm Nevus And Itching Last?
Hi! I had high fever which started 2 nights ago. I had all the symptoms of dengue fever. Is it normal for my fever to last a day? I can see the red spots on my arms and it is the 3rd day since my fever started. When will the itching stop? Am I recovering or should I be expecting another fever?

Hello, Thnx to contact us. We wish you a very best health at health care magic. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that having a dengue and a red spot on the skin is the alarming sign to you to get admitted in the ICU. The platelet count gone very low in you and so had started bleeding spot on your skin. Platelets which are lysing releases the mediators and cause you itching. I advise you should visit the ER. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank; Infectious disease specialist

Hello, thank you for your contact to health care magic. If I am your doctor I suggesting you dengue infection with red spot is suggestive of very low platelets. In such a low case you should immediately go to ER. Also check out your platelet count. If its to low you requires a platelet transfusion. The itch and everything will disappear when your platelet count start increases. If you have to ask me anything you can contact me. Dr Arun Tank. Infectious disease specialist. Thank you.
