Description
Linyan Ye and six co-authors report a rare skin case in a 2025 paper. A man in his early thirties with well-controlled HIV developed itchy plaques in his groin and thighs. The lesions grew into pustules and raw patches. Tests of the tissue confirmed a rare skin condition marked by scaly patches in skin folds, together with a yeast infection.
The condition is often linked to exposure to a common disinfectant chemical. His lesions cleared fully after a short course of an intravenous herbal-derived drug, once the chemical exposure stopped. The authors present this as the first documented case of the condition in a person with HIV, and detail its distinct features.
