| Response from Dr. Henry
 If you have just started HIV drugs then you could be having a reaction to one of the drugs or a immune reconstitution effect. Your HIV doctor needs to see your rash and then determine the cause and the best therapy (could be changing one of the meds if that is a likely cause). Getting a rash and dark spots and scratching all of the time is a bid deal. I quickly refer to a skin specialist (dermatologist) if I can't help the patient. KH | ||||||||
