A growing number of dermatologists treating coronavirus patients report patterns and trends of skin conditions—suggesting the skin could be a kind of window about what may be happening with COVID-19 inside the body.

The American Academy of Dermatology is putting out guidance on several different kinds of rashes that have been associated with COVID-19.appeared on the world stage, the deadly disease is still prompting medical mysteries, and doctors have identified another odd potential symptom: skin problems.-positive patients are reporting patterns and trends of skin conditions, suggesting the skin could be a kind of window about what may be happening with COVID-19 inside the body.

Dubbed “COVID toes” by the dermatology community, frostbite-like areas of typically red or purple discoloration can appear on the feet can also be seen on the fingers as well, according to Dr. Misha Rosenbach, associate professor of Dermatology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. But the discoloration doesn't appear to have anything to do with the weather.

There have also been reported cases of skin conditions such as measles-like rashes or hives associated with COVID-19. But, complicating matters, these kinds of rashes are also commonly seen with reactions to medications or in other viral infections.

Nothing new. How old is the USA with news?

The virus affects lung, cardiovascular, kidneys. The changes in skin are likely caused by damage to blood vessels. The virus causes damage to vessels because the epithelial layer contains ACE2 receptor/proteins. People are also having blood clotting issues and kidney failure.

Hororble!

That looks like 'chilblains' to me 😬

Treat it with disinfectant, I think that would be a great idea

Diabetes.?

Why are dermatologists treating coronavirus patients in the first place? Secondly, anyone with a separate skin condition will be freaking out from this report!

🤔 wonder if the rash also appears on the face.

Does it first turn orange?

Well that looks like cancer

skin is always a window! i can tell if someone has cv problems just by looking at their skin. ppl w cv problems r gasping and their clogged skin shows it. by contrast, runners have glowing 'unclogged' skin. fauci looks healthy. look at his skin. it's 'alive.' he's a runner.

This is a vascular change at its root. The skin change is secondary or symptomatic to the vascular change...which is secondary to COVID-19. Vascular Drs & Hematologists need to be the ones being referenced here—not derms. The condition in these pictures is Chilblains. SMH

People with compromised immune system stay in to avoid COV-19 for their safety...The main reason for a superfatted soap is to produce a bar which is gentler on the skin of people who have sensitivities to high pH or who have conditions such as eczema....
