Hmmm...I've never heard about this before. Perhaps you can give a link to let us all see where you've gotten this information from? I don't think it's true.

I'm sorry to have doubted you! Please accept my apology! I had heard of s.d. before, because my mother has a skin condition called psoriasis, but of course, she does not have HIV. I found the links that the person you chose for best response to be very informative. So, thanks to you and whomever it was for posting this information!

ya you are very correct,as a doctor i have seen many HIV+ patients suffering from same called as 'seborrhoic Dermatitis'. actualy becoz of t-helper lymphocytes decreased count in such pts fungal infection remains as it is.these fungal infection then spreads all aver the body,esp in the mouth. have u ever saw the tounge of HIV+ Pts ?...if not & if u will get the opportunity, definately look for his tounge(esp. in chronic cases of HIV+ pts)u will find thick whitish patch all over his tongue & inner wall of mucous membrane of mouth. for this condition we prescribes anti-fungal mouth paints & tabs like fluconazole.

This is a relatively common occurrence in people with HIV/AIDS, especially with advanced disease and low T-cells. It is called "seborrheic dermatitis". It is thought to be caused by a fungal infection that takes over because the body's immune system is not working properly. There is treatment, but the best thing is to take medications to treat the HIV/AIDS and bring the T-cell count up. Here are a few links for information: http://dermatology.about.com/cs/seborrhea/a/seb_aids.htm http://www.aidsetc.org/aetc/aetc?page=cm-529_sebdem
