Guest guest Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 There are some HIV drugs, particularly crixivan that effects the skin and nails. If you are on crixivan you may want to switch to another drug in the same (protease inhibitor) category. Another HIV drug epivir is also known to sometimes cause hair loss but not anything worse than that. In any case, to wait for three weeks with infections in the hands is not wise. Ask the doctor's office to give an emergency appointment. If they cannot, maybe consider changing doctors in the long run and go to the emergency room for this time. Emergency rooms now have side offices for " fast care " , for cases which are not emergencies but still need to be seen promptly. > > Was wondering if anyone else was having problems with dermatis?
