Doctors warn that long COVID symptoms can include outbreaks of rashes and pustules

- When we think of Long COVID, we normally think of exhaustion and brain fog. But recently people have also seen outbreaks of rashes and pustules all over their skin. Dermatologists say the numbers of patients who have been seeking treatment for these symptoms has increased by around 30%. They add the majority of patients start to develop these symptoms five to 10 days after infection and they normally improve after a week or so. But if the symptoms last one or two months, doctors believe the virus may have attacked the skin surface, stimulating inflammation on the epidermis, and inducing allergies.

The symptoms can be very itchy and there can be small pustules, one by one, all over the body. Some people will experience their skin easily infected with folliculitis, and even urticaria symptoms will appear repeatedly all over the body. Symptoms that result from Long COVID are actually around for a long time. After getting infected by COVID, the virus can have many effects on bodily symptoms. It can attack body organs, including those outside our internal organs, and I think that with the skin’s surface, there’s possibly some stimulation of cell hormones in our immune calls and even inflammation of cytokines. This can increase resulting skin problems. These symptoms can come and go, in something like a delayed reaction.
Doctors remind people who experience these post-COVID skin symptoms that -- aside from keeping them under control with medicine -- to drink more water, eat more vegetables and less oily food and get enough sleep. This can boost the body’s immunity in order to fight those rashes and other pesky symptoms that are caused by Long COVID.
I’ve had this for almost 2 years everyday.. it has been decreasing lately but it comes and goes every once in a while. Throughout the first year it would come every day. I recommend taking Claritin 24 hour nondrowsy. It will work the best out of everything that I’ve used and it will last several days to a week but you have to keep using it consistently for a while until you start going back to normal.
Sameeee! Its fcking itchy when it attacks. 😭😭😭
@@SabarKhalid-yv2ej I took antihistamine allergy medication every single day. Most likely you probably have an underlying viral infection or bacterial infection. And not Covid. Go get seen at the doctors
This crap is bad. I've had it for 17 months now. it's getting better. I just started taking Claritin 24 hours a week ago. It goes from my back to my thighs behind my knees and lower legs randomly. Last week, it was my butt cheeks and my upper arms. I only had two covid vaccinations and got sick with covid a year later. I lost my sense of smell and taste and then got the rash a week after showing up negative. Claritin 24-hour is the only thing that seems to be working. And with the nut jobs saying this is rare, there are too many people that have this for it to be rare.
@@byanknutson9761same here, only clariton seems to help. It was Covid for sure.
@@justintran3265 Nope it was the shots.
I also have skin problems after those covid vaccine shot ! I don't have an allergies before !
I never had any problems with my skin until I have taken Pfizer vaccine. Now I have weird eczema patches on both arms and back of my hand and I don’t know what to do about it
Diet helps !! Decrease histamine foods and Sleep with no stress
Same here. After the second vaccine I got a skin rash between my toes. And I also got a circular skin rash at the spot of the vaccination. After one year the circular skin rash in that spot came back too.
And you spread it to all the innocent unvaxed. Thanks...
Yes, very itchy!! Full body rashes now. Covid 3x not vaccinated. My body will heal though, without MD intervention. Hands off my body Government
Same here constant itch with dermagraphia I’m miserable it’s been more than a year
Go raw plant based and do a juice detox
Glad you enjoy being sick. The rest of us will vaccinate.
have you tried low histamine/ anti inflammatory diet ( cutting alot of foods veggies and fruits but decreases histamine in the body ) getting lots of rest , cutting out stress.. cold showers .. all of these things help ! Have to get off the pills and use calamine lotion so you don’t scratch and increase the histamines
I have skin problems after Moderna covid vaccine booster shot. It's been more than 1 year that I have the skin problem now.
Me too. It almost two years now.
Do you still have the issues?
@@ReapingTheHarvest Yes, I still have the issue, but less than before. My skin problem now is only located on my hands.
I got Covid but no rashes…….had a Moderna booster shot and now I’ve got rashes big time. No more booster shots for me……
……a follow up. Rashes began about 1/2 weeks after the jab and lasted for about 4/6 weeks…….they were debilitating and all over my arms thighs chest and back. I’m open to the idea of booster shots but will give Moderna a wide berth (never had a problem with other brands).
I've had this ever since I received the Pfizer vac. It's terrible
Me too.. it really sucks!
its the vaccine
Literally I get the rash two years later on my neck and chest when I lay down
I developed a skin rash between my toes after the second covid vaccination. I also developed a circular skin rash on the upper arm after the vaccination. The rash between the toes has lasted over a year already (it is not a fungus). And the circular skin rash on the upper arm in that same spot came back after a year.
@AA-id8ypsame is there any cure found ?
Safe and effective! We warned you not to take them, and we were persecuted for it.
I no this post is old but im looking for answers 😞 i got covid in 2021 ive never had the shots didnt feel comfortable with them while breastfeeding my symptoms were very very mild no fever just headache and lost of tasted and smell well i had a nasty rash pop up on my eye while i had covid and im still fighting it and its 2023 i went to a specialist and there trying to tell me i have rosacea and its not covid related but I've never had this problem before and it didnt pop up until the week i got covid they look at me like im stupid and i dont no what im talking about i just want answer this rash hurts no amount of cream helps its sore all the time it will go away then comes back 10times worse i dont no what to do😢
Your not stupid, I never took the vaccine and caught Covid and have hives for almost a year now. I know Covid caused it 100%. Cuz I never had anything this long before.
I have skin problems and acne after Pfizer. Had this for 2 years now. Biggest regret is taking the V
Did you have one or two? Loads of detox options I had one wish I never had any!
@@DinaParmar1 had the first two. Goodluck to you and sending prayers your way that you will also heal.
Same here. I took the Pfizer vaccine and got skin rash problems after the second vaccination. Only possible source is the vaccine. I didn't have those problems before.
And you spread it to all the innocent people that didn't take the V and warned against it. Thanks a lot.
@@ReapingTheHarvestspread what??
Got covid for a 2nd time and have this on my chest, back and legs. Sometimes it's fine for a day or 2 and then boom

Hi guys, after meeting my doctor and he confirmed that I had Urticaria, I was so scared that it shouldn't hurt my family. I made all provisions to cure myself when I found out the drugs were not working. But to no avail. Until doctor Iyhere on youtube made everything possible.
My skin has random pink/red blotches, especially on my face: nose, forehead, cheek area. I believe I had covid in November 2023, and I'm still feeling side effects. This is just wonderful.
This is happening to me too. It’s been 1 year and it’s getting worse. They appear out of nowhere. Exact same spot as you. I just had a biopsy waiting for results. It severely itches almost nonstop.
Can you tell me anymore about your experience or what has worked for you?
@@22killakush22did you ever get it figured out?
So you’re sitting side-by-side I’m wearing a mask you know that’s not gonna help.
And then this doctor giving an interview and everybody is right up on him what’s the use of wearing a mask? You guys are so silly.
They are educating us and your finding something wrong with the interview it’s people like you that make the internet a sad and negative place . I wish you peace and enlightenment 🧘🏾♀️
@@MissNamaSlay excuse me, but it’s a proven fact. A proven fact that masks do not help. I had a mask on and I got Covid from my patient. So sad person is that who will not hear reason you have a wonderful night or morning, which ever

Unless it's an N95, masks only protect other people. It stops the momentum of the virus-carrying aerosols at the source. In light of that, sitting close even masked is not a good idea, but still better than none.
I had a rash right across my chest and neck in Beijing on 18th January, 2020. I went the pharmacy and the old man just sold me some cream, but the girl wanted me to stay and tell me more - but the old man ushered me out of the pharmacy quickly. At that time the Chinese people didn't want foreigners to know about the coming pandemic which was discovered in Wuhan - I flew home on 24th January - Nobody ever tested me at all at any airports. That was more than 2 years ago now - still feel very tired sometimes.
You mean it was already in Beijing in January 2020?!
@@markkoalawebseo It was discovered around November / December 2019 but the whole thing was suppressed - nobody talked about it as though it was to be hidden from foreigners - I was told in mid January that I should wear a mask as the person told me there was a flu in another part of the country - in Beijing it is common to wear masks all the time and especially on high pollution days which is nearly every day in the winter anyways.
I had covid before it was here in south africa that was in Feb 2020 south africa had 1st lockdown in March so I had it already before south africa discovered we had it here...had it 3 times and 2 months after my last covid episode I developed a strange rash that looks like a dermatitis of some sort its with me for 5 months already and nothing clears it up its on my inner lower legs nowhere else it just goes bigger and redder I'm really scared
@@Drogonmoon I had it in December 2019. And I caught it again in July 2021. I still have hives from last year but they’ve been decreasing little by little. I feel like the virus stays in your body for quite a while
I got the rash in early April about 3 days before I knew I was exposed to Covid. Terribly itchy. Over 5 months. Spreading. Not much improvements. Drs mystified. Looking for “ regular@ rashes. Don’t want to say it’s Covid related though it surely is. I’m not allergic to anything but latex. Steroid cream. Rinse for scalp. Can’t sleep too itchy. Started on lower leg. Now all over. Only oral steroid pills eked but only gave me 5 pills then back to creams🤷♀️🇨🇦dr trying to say drug reaction. I’m taking OTC allergy pills. Not much help. Ice decreases itchiness. Just awful. Toronto on ca
At the same time as I got Covid-19, red marks appeared on my legs
Yes I got rashes it been almost 2 years now I developed nuts chocolate and butter allergy after the vaccination and I still deal with it it so itchy if I want back I won't ever take the covid vaccine for sure
Are they vaaaccxed?
Wow, watching those hives dissolve every day until they disappear is definitely appeasing, I went with what I commented about and after 20 or so days the urticaria’s history, I simply go'ogled the latest by Shane Zormander and now my skin is as smooth and healthy as it has ever been!
I m aslo suffering from urticaria problem since 10 months. Consulte many doctors but no cure, still i have this problem.
Can you explain ?
*HIVES eliminated permanently. All Thanksto Doctor Alued for his good work and I promise to let the world,🇺🇸 know about your UA-cam channel order treatment him*
Hi guys. I am Gina brown from california, due to the hotness of the summer I noticed that my skin has started developing heat rashes so I contacted Doctor Iyhere from Africa who helped me after I ordered for the appropriate herbal medication.
Thank you China for your wonderful disease !
