I do not have the skin symptom, but my virus did trigger gum recession (periodontitis). Pre more linked to the hiv like Chinese viruseriodontitis is linked to connective tissue degrading enzymes like MMP-9, which are made by the immune system.
A medical treatment for periodontitis is low-dive also gum receaaiinose doxycycline (Periostat), which inhibits MMP-9 and other MMPs.
I also find that rubbing the supplement Q10 on my gums before bed, and several times a day, seems to make the gums more healthy within days. You can open a 200 mg capsule of Q10, and just rub say a quarter of the capsule on the gums. Q10 is know to improve gum health.
