@nurtureandknow: A rash can be harmless… or it can be a red flag. A non-blanching rash is one that doesn’t fade when you press a clear glass over it, and it’s something every parent should recognise. Here’s what to remember: 🔍 What is a non-blanching rash? Spots, dots or patches that stay red/purple under pressure. They can look like tiny pinpricks or larger bruises. 🧪 The Glass Test: Press a clear glass firmly against the skin. ➡️ If the rash disappears, it’s likely blanching (usually less concerning). ➡️ If it stays, it’s non-blanching, this needs urgent medical review. ⚠️ Why it matters: A non-blanching rash can be a sign of a serious infection, including meningococcal disease. Early action saves lives. 💡 Trust your instincts. If something feels off, get checked. #babyfirstaid #mumsoftiktok #rash #sepsis
