Covid

Covid toes. My partner thinks he has these. Is it on anyone else's radar?

Having one or more inflamed toes, that aren't chilblains.

It's a real thing. A nurse friend was telling me about it.

I had this back in early March and it lasted about a month - at one point I thought I had no circulation in my feet the toes were all blue !! I figured it was just chillblains though!

My son had several affected toes mid March. I spent ages googling trying to decipher what they might be and chillblains didn't fit (not cold enough!) One eventually blistered and I thought perhaps they were insect bites as he had a mosquito bite in his ankle once that blistered. But now I'm wondering about Covid Toe..... He had a mild, intermittent cough at the time but no other symptoms. He's 12.

Thanks for replies. If he's had it, I've had no symptoms, that I'm aware of at least!

I've had it for 3 weeks, starting to look a bit better. Doctor didn't have a clue and gave me 2 lots of antibiotics, and a fungal cream. None had any effect. Doctor kept telling me what it wasn't. Also had a hive like rash on my body that appeared 8 days after my toes started.

Yes my 12-year-old son had it around the same time late March he had a really bad migraine as well and looked rough no other symptoms though he still has the red mark but it is definitely healing, around the same time I had transient hives for about three days but I didn't think a lot of it because it's common for me to get hives but now I have my suspicions.
