Could this be anything other than meningitis?

Yesterday morning I woke up with these little areas (2 of them quite close) that are red and have grown a little bit since. They are quite itchy too. Now I did the meningitis glass test and the little red areas remain the same colour. I am quite worried as I don't usually go to the doctors if anything like this happens (which isnt often)... And whenever I get bad colds I just ride them out and the last time I've been to the doctor is like 5 years ago (Im 19). I don't have time to go to the doctors now anyway as I have to drive to Scotland tomorrow for a month of mapping for my 3rd year of uni. I am willing to ride this problem out as there is nothing I can do. Is there anything that it could be that isn't meningitis? And what are the next symptoms I should have if it is meningitis? I have people relying on me so it really cant be meningitis. Thanks :/

Update:

Well that is good news then. Thanks alot. Will pack my coat then xD. Good old British Summers eh

    I don't know what it is but i think if it was meningitis and you had it since yesterday you would be very ill and not even able to sit and type this question and certainly not able to drive up here to Scotland, the only other thing I know of is shingles but whatever it is I would recommend you see the doctor or hospital to be on the safe side - it is cold here in Glasgow today so wear something warm tomorrow, Good Luck
