PEOPLE suffering with long Covid are battling with agonising skin lesions months after first catching the virus, experts have found.

Many people who have overcome the disease have developed chilblain-like inflammation on their feet - also known as Covid toes.Patients suffering with long Covid are also battling with Covid toesMedics treating Covid-19 patients have continuously reported seeing unusual cases where people have developed blisters and purple lesions on their feet.

But scientists said that one in six people with the condition have required hospital treatment, while some people reported cases lasting for several months. Dr Esther Freeman, principal investigator of the International Covid-19 Dermatology Registry, said that there seems to be a certain sub-group of coronavirus patients who develop inflammation of the toes.Dr Freeman added: "In most cases, it is self-resolved and it goes away. It is relatively mild.She added: "What is very surprising is when you get beyond that 60-day mark - because it's not like patients are resolving at day 70.

"It's the fact that some of our patients are at over 150 days now - these are patients with red or purple or swollen toes for many months."At the start of 2020 Covid-19 was new and unknown to most of the world and experts say there is still much that needs to be understood about the virus, including its side effects.
