In general, Monkeypox symptoms include fever, lymph node enlargement, headache and sweating. Other symptoms include muscle aches, backache, shivering and exhaustion. The rash breaks out in two to four days after the initial symptoms. These lesions can become painful with time. They will eventually scab and fall off.
The lesions occur mostly over the face. They also appear on other body parts including the palms, soles, and mucosa. They can also appear in the genital area. These can take about two to four weeks for recovery. Complications can occur for some people such as development of pneumonia, secondary bacterial skin infection, and visual loss due to eye involvement.
