Does the AIDS rash itch?

AIDS rashes may or may not be itchy. Due to its different forms and types, it is not possible to generalize about the specific itchiness. 1. Rash may appear in the acute stage of HIV infection, which is actually a viral rash with no obvious specificity. It usually occurs on the face, neck, limbs and other parts of the body, and can spread throughout the body. The manifestations may also vary, such as: measles, rubella and so on. After fading, there is often pigmentation with flaking, and the clinical manifestation will have the symptom of itching, but it is not absolute. Different patients will have different types of rashes. 2. Most of the rashes that occur in the late stages of AIDS due to immunodeficiency are caused by fungal infections, which are related to infections and are not specific to AIDS itself. The form of manifestation varies according to the infected fungus. For example, herpes zoster is painful, caused by fungal infections, and may have symptoms of itching. Because the AIDS rash itself is not specific and the form of appearance is uncertain, it is necessary to combine with the patient’s clinical symptoms and morphology to determine the specific itch, can not be generalized. It is recommended that patients go to a regular hospital department for consultation.
