Itchy painful rash weeks after covid

[Tubbytenbums]

I have leukaemia and had covid in September, ended up in hospital. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a rash weeks after?
Also wondering if it's because I had to come off my chemotherapy pills and is more linked to my leukaemia?
Anyone any idea?

My elderly dad had this, and my son (he's in his twenties).
Neither were confirmed cases though, because this was back in March.
I had it first, and think, unwittingly I passed it to them.
I had a slight rash which was painful to touch (like shingles which I had years ago) at the end of the virus, I also had purple "covid toes".
Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for replying 🙂

I had Covid around 4 weeks ago. I had a rash on about day 10 for couple of days, but in the last week I have developed another itchy rash all over my body. Very uncomfortable!

Thanks for replying, get well soon

I had a viral illness in March with ten days of fever, fatigue, breathlessness, pleuritic pain. (No tests available at that point for cases in the community but my GP said it was almost certainly COVID. A colleague working in the same office who was ill at the same time went on to test positive for antibodies.)

A couple of weeks after I recovered, I developed a rash which lasted for several months. Tiny bumps on the skin which were intensely itchy. This went on for more than six months with new bumps appearing daily. At one point I was scratching my tummy in my sleep until it bled.

DH (immunosuppressed due to azothioprine) caught a milder case of the same virus I had. He went on to get the same rash, but his was a bit worse than mine and as well as the itching he had needle-like pain. He asked a dermatologist friend who said that a rash of this description has been reported as a post-Covid thing.

8 months after the initial viral symptoms, I am now only getting a couple of new itchy tiny bumps appearing per week (usually on my hands) so hopefully this is the tail end of it.

Have you just had a flu jab? I had a bad reaction to it this year and sounds very similar. Intensely itchy rash and burning hands and feet. Lasted a few days.

Thanks everyone you've been so helpful. Hopefully it is related to covid and not my leukaemia. Will speak to haemotologist on Monday re resuming my meds, might need to postpone

Yes, I have had the flu recently, will mention this to Dr too. Thanks

@Tubbytenbums hi! How are you feeling? Was is due to covid?
Ive been tested and positive and have an awful rash behund my neck /top of back x x

Really never got to the bottom of it, I suspect it was related to covid, thankfully gone now.
Please take care of yourself and get well very soon xx

I was ill in the summer and had a rash on my back ever since, though it's much milder than the eczema I get from contact allergies.

My ds 4 has a mild itchy rash on his shoulder blades for 2 weeks now... He had the nasal flu vax just before it appeared. I do not see any bumps or blisters. It only looks like the spots are where he's been scratching iyswim.
