Doctors treating COVID-19 now say that purple or blue toe lesions appearing on patients’ toes may be a way to diagnose infection, as these have appeared in otherwise asymptomatic and severe cases alike;

However, so far there have been no conclusive studies to validate the phenomenon now being called “COVID toes.”

In addition to the most common symptoms (fever, shortness of breath, and dry cough), COVID-19 has also shown up as conjunctivitis (aka, pink eye), skin rashes, and digestive issues like diarrhea.

Now, dermatologists are looking into another possible sign, known as "COVID toes."

“They’re typically painful to touch and could have a hot burning sensation,” Dr. Ebbing Lautenbach, chief of infectious disease at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Medicine told USA Today.

Lautenbach said that COVID toes are disproportionately present in children and young adults, who may otherwise be asymptomatic or test negative at early stages of the virus.


Intriguingly, the most severe COVID-19 patients also exhibited COVID toes, said Susan Wilcox, Massachusetts General Hospital’s chief of critical care for the emergency department, who told USA Today that this symptom is most common in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

There are two possible explanations for COVID toes, according to Lautenbach: It could possibly be a localized inflammatory response to infection that presents in a person’s foot and toes, or it might be a blood vessel clot—more research would need to be done.


Purple and blue lesions on the toes are also present in severe flu or viral pneumonia patients, according to Wilcox.

No conclusive research has been done on COVID toes, experts warn, so all explanations and evidence is still anecdotal at this point.

Below is a photo of Millen.niumlady begging for my money. She then insulted me. She is a notorious beggar and has been known to suck c*cks for chicken change.
She insults people, then proceeds to beg in secret. This is a now-deleted thread.
Please guys, let's spread the word. She has a rabid mouth

There's nothing wrong with people asking for help when they don't have.
Find a way to handle it maturely without insulting them, if you don't want to give them.
Beggars are better than thieves.

My brother, are you new on NL? She is a well known critic of beggars. A lot of real people in need has gone off because of her and her gang. She then proceeds to beg in secret?? That is hypocrisy. When I had the mind to help, she then proceeded to insult me point-blank.
