| Response from Dr. Boyle
 Dark Blotches are difficult to comment on without actually seeing them since there are so many things that could cause a rash with that description. AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir) can cause changes in skin pigmentation, including darkening of the skin and nails; however, and you should have her doctor evaluate her to make sure that it is not something else. | ||||||||
