Talaromycosis only affects people who live in or visit Southeast Asia, southern China, or eastern India. Most people who get talaromycosis have a medical condition that weakens their immune system, such as HIV/AIDS, or another condition that lowers the body’s ability to fight germs and sickness. Bumps on the skin are a common symptom. These bumps are usually small and painless. The bumps usually appear on the face and neck but can also appear in other places on the body.
