Tinea Barbae and HIV
Hi there,
can anyone tell me if tinea barbae has anything to do with an hiv infection. I thought I had swollen lymph nodes, but my doctor laughed and told me it's just tinea barbae ... a fungal infection inside the skin ... not under the skin like lymph nodes. Just wondering if tinea barbae is anything to worry about. Thanks!
