If you notice some weird marking on your toes or hands, they might have been due to a COVID-19 infection. "The skin is often a window into a person's health and may show subtle signs of COVID-19 infection," explains Caroline Nelson, MD, a Yale Medicine dermatologist. According to Dr. Nelson, Morbilliform ("measles-like") exanthems (many, often symmetric, pink-to-red bumps that can merge together) and hives (itchy red wheels on the skin) have been associated with COVID-19 infection.
"They are found most often in otherwise asymptomatic children and young adults," says Dr. Nelson. "It is important to note that these skin signs are non-specific, meaning that they can be associated with other infections, systemic disorders, and medication reactions. It is important to seek medical advice from your physician."
Some doctors are saying if you had these bumps or if you have recently suffered from conjunctivitis, a.k.a. pink eye, it could have been due to COVID-19. "Several reports suggest that SARS-CoV-2 can cause a mild follicular conjunctivitis otherwise indistinguishable from other viral causes, and possibly be transmitted by aerosol contact with conjunctiva," the American Academy of Ophthalmology recently said in a statement. This is why some experts are recommending contact lens wearers to switch to glasses during the pandemic.
Get the test for antibodies....if you had it, and now have the antibody, please consider donating plasma.

Does the pink eye have to be recent? I have had several bouts with it in the past. Maybe that's why I never get the flu? (Almost never, I've had mild cases twice in my 65 years.)

lindajoy,
I think the people on the OPP who operate their "Ignore" lists would never make it in a high school Debating society, so no great loss either way. But they do read to see how it's done...
