Coronavirus Symptoms: Are Skin Rashes Now Symptoms Of Corona Virus?

New Delhi, Lifestyle Desk. Coronavirus Symptoms: At present, the world is struggling with the corona virus epidemic. Right now the cases of corona have crossed one crore 38 lakh, but still it is not clear how risky the infection can be or how serious its symptoms can be. Apart from this, the symptoms of Kovid-19 are different in every patient, there is still nothing clear about its symptoms in children, the elderly, pregnant women or youth. Kovid-19 is a respiratory infection, but people are also experiencing different symptoms, such as skin rashes. 

A research by London’s King’s College revealed a new characteristic of corona. Skin rashes were also seen in many people with fever, cough and shortness of breath.

What does research say

This new research at King’s College found that the initial symptoms of Kovid-19 appear on the skin in many people. Especially in those who do not show the common symptoms of this infection. Therefore, it is important to be treated correctly as soon as the skin rashes are seen.

The research was conducted on 3,36,000 people living in the UK. Their data

was taken from the Kovid app. This research found that 8.8 percent of people who found corona virus positive were also listed as skin rashes.

What kind of rashes can be seen? 

According to research, most people who reported rashes as a symptom of Kovid-19 had three types of rashes.

-Hives, which come on suddenly, are red in color and can also cause swelling on the skin. However, they also go away in a short period of time, but sometimes remain for a long time. 

-Ghamouri, prickly, resemble chickenpox grains, which often appear in the summer season. However, it can also be seen as a symptom of the corona virus. 

– Kovid Toes: In such symptoms, swelling and pain is felt in the hands and toes. 

what should be done?

Symptoms of corona virus are similar to those of a common viral infection, but still these symptoms should not be taken lightly. Many viral infections also affect the skin, so skin rashes resulting from Kovid-19 are not surprising. It is important to note that in many people, skin rashes are seen first as a symptom of corona. Therefore, as soon as rash appears on the skin, immediately consult your doctor and get the corona virus tested.
