Even as we step into the 3rd year of the pandemic, the COVID virus continues to torment us. With new variants emerging, many of them showing vaccine-evasion properties, even the vaccinated people are getting infected and, the symptoms they are developing are quite different from the previously-known symptoms.
Check here: Many COVID patients suffer from skin-related problems. They may develop maculopapular rash (discolour skin) or hives (raised areas of itchy skin).
Some may even develop “COVID toes", that is, the skin on your toe may become red, swollen - just like blisters. Adolescents or young adults, who develop mild or no symptoms, can develop COVID toes.
COVID-related skin issues usually go away after a few days, or in some instances a few weeks, without the need for any specialised treatment.
