Freeman describes the following eight skin symptoms caused by COVID-19.

◆ 1: Spotted papules
The symptom of multiple red rashes over a wide area is called 'spotted papules', and the symptoms of COVID-19 appear in more serious people.



◆ 2: Eye redness

Conjunctivitis, in which the white of the eye turns red, is a common symptom of late or severe cases of COVID-19 infection.



◆ 3: Corona toes
The symptom of red discoloration of the toes, toes, or both limbs is called 'corona toes' and is drawing attention. Partially discolored to purplish red, with pain and itching, and may become pustules and blisters. Corona toes are a symptom that occurs in the second half of the illness after other symptoms appear, and are especially common in children.



◆ 4: Urticaria
Some people have reported pink or red spots or humps on their skin. Some urticaria, such as small spots, may appear, while others, such as plates, may appear. The swelling that occurs in one place disappears in a few minutes to a few hours, but it appears and disappears repeatedly. Symptoms appear in parallel with other symptoms, regardless of age, and are thought to be associated with the severity of the disease.



◆ 5: Blisters
Blisters are one of the skin symptoms that appear from the early stages of infection. Often it will appear in your hand. Blisters are moderately symptomatic, are more likely to be seen at middle age, and last for more than 10 days.



◆ 6: Mesh-like pattern
Symptoms of reddish-purple mesh-like patterns on the skin are seen in the elderly and those with severe symptoms. It is thought that these symptoms appear as one of the immune responses to the virus due to the obstruction of blood vessels.



◆ 7: Rash associated with pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome
The cause of this rash is the overreaction of immunity and inflammation of the heart and blood vessels. This is a rare symptom that appears when children up to 3 months old get COVID-19.



◆ 8: Hair loss
Hair loss occurs when you experience serious medical conditions including COVID-19. This is due to the body shutting down unnecessary activities to cope with great stress. Hair grows again when the level of iron in the body returns to normal. In the movie below, you can see a woman who has experienced COVID-19 lose her hair every time she combs her hair.



In June 2020, research results showing that the new coronavirus infection becomes more severe when bald are also announced.
