According to the British Association of Dermatologists, rashes are showing up on numerous COVID patients, making the symptom a “key sign.”
Via the COVID Symptom Study, 9% of those swabbed and tested listed having symptoms of rashes on the body, fingers, and toes.
While not on the CDC’s official list of symptoms, UK dermatologists say that WHO lists rashes and skin discolorations on the skin as symptoms for months.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become clear that people with the virus can also develop symptoms on their skin
