Saw this skin condition today — raised, scaly grayish patches on the face and scalp.

It’s most likely tinea (ringworm), a common fungal infection. On darker skin it often looks gray or ashy instead of the classic red rings.

If you or your child has something similar, please see a doctor or dermatologist. Scalp involvement usually needs oral medicine, not just cream. It’s contagious, so avoid sharing combs, hats or towels until it’s treated.

Early treatment clears it up and prevents hair loss. Don’t ignore it 🙏

Pruritic Papular Eruption (PPE) and HIV

PPE is a common HIV-associated skin condition, especially in tropical regions and people with darker skin. It causes small, intensely itchy bumps, mainly on the arms, legs and trunk, which may leave dark marks or scars after scratching.

PPE can occur early in HIV and is often more severe with a low CD4 count. Persistent unexplained itchy skin should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

See how lenacapavir, an HIV prevention medicine, is injected into the body.

Lenacapavir is injected under the skin, usually in areas such as the abdomen or thighs, where it is slowly released over time. Two injections are given during each six-monthly visit, as demonstrated in this video.
