13. Skin Rash: The Unsettling Dermatological Sign of Adenovirus Infection
In some cases, adenovirus infection can cause a skin rash. This rash can appear as small red or pink spots or bumps, often accompanied by itching or discomfort. The rash can occur anywhere on the body and may be a result of the body’s immune response to the virus.
To help manage a skin rash caused by adenovirus infection, avoid scratching or irritating the affected area, and consider over-the-counter anti-itch creams or antihistamines to alleviate symptoms. Keep the skin clean and dry, and wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent further irritation.
If the rash persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it’s essential to seek medical attention, as this could be a sign of a more severe infection or another underlying issue. (13)
