Hi, I seem to be getting a reoccurring skin rash on my legs, lower stomach and sometimes on my upper arms but its only in the fall and winter.  It looks as if it is around the hair follicle and is usually very itchy.  They are just small bumps.  I moisturize frequently and have been to the dermo a few times.  Sometimes they tell me its folliculitis and other times they say its another type of infection.  Regardless, I never seem to pinpoint it and it keeps coming back (for the last 3 years).  First off, is there any chance it is an HIV rash?  If not, do you have any idea what it might be?
Hi, It may be chronic superficial folliculitis which occurs off and on. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. A course of antibiotic like doxycycline may be taken for few months to control the recurrence of folliculitis lesions. Hope this helps. Chat Doctor.
