Fungal Infections
"Ringworm" and "athlete's foot" are common in patients infected with. Although rare, cryptococcus can involve the skin. Lesions are often mistaken for molluscum. This infection can be life threatening and is more difficult to treat.
Bacterial Infections
Impetigo, recurrent "boils" and microbacterial infections are also seen. Basilary angiomatosis, which is caused by the "cat scratch" organism, has been described only in HIV+ patients. These infections are all treated with antimicrobial agents.
Scabies
Infection is caused by a mite which burrows into the upper layers of the skin where it lives and lays its eggs. The body's immune response to the mite produces a very itchy rash.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
More commonly known as "dandruff," this disorder is characterized by yellow to white scale on the scalp. In people infected with HIV, the lesions can also become more extensive (also involving the central face and chest) and more severe. It may also be an initial sign of HIV infection.
Eosinophilic Folliculitis
Nearly all individuals with HIV infection will at some time in the course of their illness suffer from severe itching. One disorder that often causes this symptom is eosinophilic folliculitis (commonly called "itchy bump syndrome"). Patients develop very itchy red bumps around the hair follicles on their neck, upper trunk and arms.
