Hello there!
There are definitely viruses that can cause skin rashes and here are the viruses that cause them:
- Chickenpox: Caused by the varicella-zoster virus; fluid-filled blisters which form the itchy rash
- Shingles: Happens when the very same chickenpox virus gets reactivated in old age
- Cold sores: Caused herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) and rarely by HSV-2 on and around the lip area
- Genital herpes: Caused by HSV-2 and sometimes by HSV-1 in the genital area
- Hand-foot-and-mouth disease: Caused by a coxsackie virus or an enterovirus
- Measles and Rubella: Both caused by measles and rubella virus respectively and they cause rashes
That's all I could remember so far.
Hope this helped! 😄
