Did anyone else's covid start as a rash?

[MerinoFroggie]

I am a nanny and one of the children that I mind, is a close contact of a covid positive teacher. So far the child was a negative last week and currently no symptoms and waiting for second test to see if the child was infected.

I found a red itchy rash on my chest the other day. I have no other symptoms. It's not very itchy but there is a rash. It's not a large rash either.

I read before that a rash can be a sign of some viral infections. Rash isn't included as a typical covid symptom.

Did anyone else experience rash?

I have no other symptoms. I suppose at this stage I am just anxious because someone close to me is possibly in the incubation phase and I'm on high alert for symptoms.

DH and I have tested positive - I've just had a cold and he has full on viral can't get out of bed symptoms, plus a rash.

Of our 5 children, all are well but 3 have had rashes. The baby had a very mild cold and what looked like a viral rash on legs and torso. Quite common in babies but 2 of the teens also had a rash - mildly itchy and a bit raised. One on their arms and back and the other on their chest. I'm convinced this is Covid related.

@QueenPawPaws thankyou! Ill try it :) xx

@Namechanger0800 oo sounds like you all had it then. How long did you rash last?
Mine is soo itchy :( my whole body is itching scared its gonna appear in other places.
Im glad your little ones were too bad with it xx

@Starrr123 my husbands rash is like tiny red pin pricks and he said his whole skin felt like it was on fire - mainly arms and hands. Ten days later he says the burning has stopped but he's still really unwell and can't get out of bed. Thankfully there's no cough/ breathing issues as I've no doubt that would need a hospital stay as he's so weak now.

Babies rash spread from legs to torso and is now just fading. Did t seem to bother her.

The other 2 teens have had the rash for about 5-7 days now and it was abit itchy they said but seems to also just be fading now and hasn't spread any further than the areas where it initially showed - barely visible now

@Namechanger0800 oo gosh sounds awful that your husband was that poorly ! Im glad your all ok :)
I am currently pregnant so i was abit worried about the hive look rash on me and aching so badly! Hopefully i start to feel better soon xx
