This is what AIDS rash looks like

AIDS is one of the most difficult diseases to treat today. It is extremely harmful to human health and is highly contagious. Therefore, people always panic when talking about topics related to AIDS. AIDS rash is a common symptom of AIDS in the early stages of the disease, but most people do not know exactly what the manifestations of AIDS rash are. In fact, there are two types of AIDS rash symptoms. One is non-raised and called macules, and the other is raised and called papules.

In the initial stage of AIDS, rashes often appear, and patients may also have high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or general weakness. These are all early symptoms of AIDS.

Some AIDS patients do not develop a rash in the early stages of the disease, while others develop several symptoms at once, including a rash.

The early rash of AIDS is similar to general rash, and the rash that appears in the early stages of AIDS is also varied and varied. Many people ask if the early stage rash of AIDS is itchy? The answer is not necessarily.

AIDS rash is almost the same as general rash, so the pain and itching of AIDS rash are different only because of the different symptoms.

For example, some AIDS patients develop rashes similar to urticaria. As we all know, urticaria is very itchy. The more itchy it is, the more you scratch it, and the more it bleeds, or they appear in patches, and when there are many, it looks very scary. In this way, the early stage rash of AIDS is itchy.

Some people may develop rashes similar to athlete's foot and ichthyosis in the early stages of AIDS. The symptoms include dryness, cracking, red or purple rashes, and peeling. Such rashes are painful and itchy.

Some early rashes of AIDS are like blisters caused by burns on the skin. When the blisters are squeezed, liquid will flow out, and these blisters are painful.

AIDS rash is also a kind of skin disease. If you simply look at the color and shape of the skin, you will see bumps and blisters on the surface of the skin.

Types of AIDS rashes

① The non-raised areas on the skin are called spots.

There are many manifestations of spots

Erythema due to vascular dilation (scarlet fever, measles, drug rash, etc.), purpura due to subcutaneous bleeding, etc.

Purpura is divided into small punctate hemorrhages or petechiae with a diameter of less than 5 mm and hemorrhagic spots or purpura with a diameter of more than 5 mm. These macules often change from red or purple to brown or yellow before finally disappearing. From the time the rash appears to disappear, it may take two weeks for some cases, or only 2-3 days for others.

Changes in skin pigmentation are called pigmentation spots. In contrast to pigmentation, whitening of the skin is called leukoplakia, the representative of which is vitiligo (common leukoplakia).

②Skin surface bulges

The raised areas on the skin surface are generally called papules, and the larger ones are called nodules. Blisters are clear fluid in the skin. The yellow turbid fluid is called a pustule.

The meaning of AIDS rash

AIDS rash, as a skin change, is particularly important for the diagnosis of acute infectious diseases. Based on the appearance and shape of the rash, a diagnosis of the disease can sometimes be made and it can also serve as a basis for taking appropriate treatment measures.

In recent years, many people have developed rashes due to taking medicines and using cosmetics, so care needs to be taken to identify them.
