Reactive arthritis rash - KeithD - 04-02-2023
Reactive arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis that can develop after a bacterial infection, such as a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or gastrointestinal infection. In some cases, a rash may be a symptom of the underlying infection that led to the development of reactive arthritis. This rash can appear anywhere on the body and may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as itching or burning.
However, not all people with reactive arthritis develop a rash. If you have concerns about a rash or any other symptoms, it's best to see a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.
