5. Skin Rashes and Skin Sores
As many as 90 percent of HIV-positive people develop skin problems,
according to University
of California San Diego Health System. Rash is the most common symptom of
HIV. In a person with HIV, the skin can become extremely sensitive to irritants
and sunlight. A rash may appear as a flat red patch with small bumps, and skin
may become flaky.
Sores, or lesions, may form on the skin of the mouth, genitals, and anus, and may be difficult to treat. People with HIV are also at increased risk of herpes and shingles. With proper medication, skin problems may become less severe.
