Inflammation in toes could be a symptom of coronavirus

The transcript discusses the emergence of 'COVID toes,' a symptom observed in some COVID-19 patients, characterized by purple and blue lesions on the toes. Experts suggest it may be an inflammatory reaction or a clot in the blood vessels. While often seen in asymptomatic children and young adults, it can also appear in severe cases. Dermatologists have noted related conditions like pseudo frostbite and hives. The symptom's presence in early infection stages may lead to negative COVID-19 tests.
