The “red dots” of AIDS are not characteristic.
AIDS is a systemic disease caused by infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which leads to various infections and tumors. There are many dermatological manifestations in AIDS patients, which can be divided into infectious skin diseases, non-infectious skin diseases, and skin tumors.
1. Infectious skin diseases:
(1) Viral infection: herpes zoster, herpes simplex, common warts, flat warts, condyloma acuminatum and so on which may be caused.
(2) Bacterial infections: can cause skin folliculitis, skin boils, or multiple skin abscesses.
(3) Fungal infections: may cause ringworm, tinea cruris, tinea pedis, tinea cruris, tinea capitis and other fungal infectious diseases.
2. Non-infectious skin diseases: such as seborrheic dermatitis, pityriasis rosea, acne, atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis, psoriasis, etc.
3. Skin tumors: common ones are Kaposi’s sarcoma, lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma and so on.
AIDS patients have poor resistance, the use of drugs need to be cautious, suffering from skin diseases recommended timely medical treatment, not to hide the medical history, so as not to affect the doctor’s judgment.
