4. Skin rashes
Skin rashes are early signs you could have dengue fever. Skin rashes occur when you have been bitten by a mosquito that is carrying a virus. Mosquitoes bite millions of people and by doing so it’s going to give your body some sort of skin reaction. Cortisone cream can help with the rash, but since it’s a virus, the body has to heal on the inside before the outside can. The rash usually occurs about four to six days after you get a fever.
If you happen to get a high fever, check your skin for any rashes. If you go to the emergency room for high fever, the medical professionals will more than likely notice skin rashes, especially if it’s somewhere noticeable on your body. The skin rash will begin to clear up once the virus does so as well. Also, with skin rashes there could be some itching, so avoid scratching the rash because it can spread to other parts of your body.
