Asked in Conditions and Diseases, Rashes
Can an STD cause a rash outside the genital area?
Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, and HIV can cause body rashes
outside of the genital area. Herpes and syphilis can affect any
body part, so initial symptoms could be found anywhere; the second
phase of syphilis can cause a rash. Rash is an uncommon symptom of
HIV, but is possible. Rash with chlamydia is related to a rarer
complication and may be accompanied by inflammation of the
structure of the eye. Body rash with gonorrhea is a later-stage
symptom, and may be accompanied by arthritis.
Rashes can have many causes, and self-diagnosis is not reliable.
See your health care provider to find out what's causing your rash,
and to get screened for STDs.
