Are 'covid toes' a real symptom of the coronavirus?
A frostbite-like rash on a person's toes might be a symptom of the new coronavirus, according to anecdotal evidence from dermatologists around the world.
However, research is needed to determine whether this peculiar rash is truly caused by COVID-19.
The pinkish-reddish rash can turn purple over time, and causes a burning sensation in some people, Dr. Esther Freeman, a dermatologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, told The Washington Post. But the inflammation tends to disappear without treatment in two to three weeks, Freeman said.
