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.

Yep, DD had it, or rather what looked like it

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

Dd had them in March, sure it was chilblains but again too warm. No other symptoms though.

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.

There's an image on BBC news of Covid toes now.

I look at the news feeling like a visitor from a distant planet these days - it just gets weirder!

I saw it online as a covid symptom but with the warning don't self diagnose..so perhaps call 111??

When I first saw the term "Covid Toes," I thought people were talking about how their pedicures were rapidly devolving...

Covid eyes and body next,

We are so bored lol.

I think it's something kids get mostly, though?

YABU for not posting on the CV thread.

Hi OP, we've moved this thread over to our Coronavirus topic now.

FFS!!!!! are you not worried about turning into hypochondriacs?

Call me a doctor. This is a genuine symptom in younger people. Why are we hypochondriacs??

It's on many news sites

It isnt just Covid toes though its covid extremities.

Anyone else seen it in their fingers or nipples?
