Accepted Answer

Not common: After any viral illness, including dengue, you can have a flare up of a rash. Usuallly it will fade over weeks. Over the counter Hydrocortisone may be helpful. If the rash persists, see your doctor to get stronger medication to help it go away.

Question 6

hi.im a g6pd patient.and last 2 days ive been suspected with dengue fever.now my whole body are felt itchy. is that confirm dengue?

Accepted Answer

Itching?: Itching can happen with or without dengue, so itching does not confirm nor deny dengue. Dengue testing is of 2 types:  antibody testing or PCR testing. Antibody testing looks for one's immune system's response to the virus (one's body makes antibodies against the virus). PCR testing looks for actual pieces of virus material, such as the RNA genetic material in the virus.

Question 7

itchy skin rash all over body (except for face, neck, palms and soles) for 14 days. no fever, no flu-like symptons, no lymph node. can it be hiv ars?

Accepted Answer

Rash: It sounds more likely that it is an allergic reaction to something.  The fact that it is not on the palms and soles of your feet makes other bad things less likely.  Skin rashes are hard to diagnose and the diagnosis depends on where the rash is, the color, whether there are blotches, raised bumps and many other things.  You can buy benadryl (diphenhydramine) in the pharmacy for itching and if it persists see DR.

Question 8

are skin rashes on dengue itchy?

Accepted Answer

Variable.: The rash that accompanies dengue fever may or may not cause itching.

Question 9

which stds causes itchy skin hive like rash all over body?

Accepted Answer

Probably no STD: Syphilis can cause a body-wide rash, but not hive-like and usually not itchy. If you think you're at risk for STDs, get tested. But an STD is not a likely cause of this rash. Most rashes like this are due to drug allergy -- which could include an STD drug if you're on treatment. In that case, contact the doctor treating you. Good luck!

Question 10

white blotches on palms. itchy skin rash all over.  white tongue. itchy pubic area had unprotected oral sex. itchy bumps on cheeks and chin. help plz?

Accepted Answer

Probably unrelated: You may possibly have contracted scabies from the contact but there are also other potential causes unrelated to the sexual contact.   See a doctor if this has been presented for more than 3 days or been getting worse.
