Although we are almost two years into the pandemic and we have already identified some main symptoms of the coronavirus, over time, they change

One of the reasons is that every day we learn more and more about the coronavirus. The other is that the virus itself changes and affects people differently.

Whatever the reason, more and more new terms related to the pandemic are emerging in the medical community. According to recent studies, there is a new symptom that indicates the presence of the infection.

It's about "covid fingers".

According to doctors, many patients with coronavirus develop manifestations of the disease on the skin. "Covid fingers" - this is when the first phalanges of the fingers swell, turn red, blisters and abscesses form on them. Symptoms resemble frostbite.

Experts from Komunarka Covid Hospital have added false frostbite to the list of common skin manifestations of COVID-19.

The problem, like many others from coronavirus, is related to vascular damage. Most often, "covid fingers" are found in minors, but there are also adults.

Skin rashes can be a symptom of an early form of covid when a person does not know about it. If your fingers or toes are discolored or a rash appears, you should consult a doctor. Before the coronavirus era, it would most likely be eczema or dermatitis.

Another bad news is that after contracting the coronavirus, skin diseases can worsen and be more severe than usual - the same eczema, for example, or psoriasis.

Doctors advise to pay attention to fingers and toes in case of coronavirus, as they can change color. We must also recognize that skin diseases that are difficult to treat can debut, that is, appear in those who have not previously suffered from them.
