Spanish dermatologists have discovered that the coronavirus causes 5 different skin problems, especially in young people. These problems include injuries such as a cold bite, acne-like rashes and itching, pink or white blisters, small and purple-spotted and rashes.
More than 250,000 people died worldwide from the new type of coronavirus outbreak (Kovid-19), which occurred in Wuhan, China, and which affected the world in a short time. While efforts to develop vaccines and drugs against the deadly epidemic are underway, a study in Spain has revealed new signs of the epidemic. Studies in patients diagnosed with the corona virus in Spain revealed that Kovid-19 caused skin problems, especially in young people. Spanish dermatologists have identified five different skin problems that appear to be related to Kovid-19 in these patients.
“FINGER COWIDE”
These included the skin problem, which the researchers described as “Kovid’s finger,” which appears to be a rash similar to a cold sting on the toes. This problem was claimed to be seen primarily in young people who had the disease asymptomatically. In a study published in the British Journal of Dermatology, all dermatologists in Spain were asked to share details of patients with Kovid-19 who had symptoms such as a rash and swelling in the past two weeks.
FIVE LEATHER DISORDERS IN CORONAVIRUS PATIENTS
As a result of examining the details of a total of 375 patients, the following five common skin problems were identified:
– Cold bite-like lesions on the hands and feet that also cause itching and pain. In general, they were observed in younger patients in the later stages of the disease and lasted, on average, 12 days. This problem was found in 19% of the cases studied, with milder infections.
Small itchy and itchy rashes on the trunk, arms and legs. These were observed in middle-aged patients and disappeared in approximately 10 days before other symptoms. These skin problems were found in 9 percent of the examined patients.
– Pink or white blisters that look like hives. These are usually seen on the trunk, but are sometimes also detected on the palms. This problem was found in 19 percent of the examined patients.
– Spotted and minor skin rashes called maculopapules. This problem was observed in 47% of the cases studied, in people who had more serious infections. It disappeared in about seven days.
The researchers discovered that maculopapules are the most common skin problem.
– purple rashes called Livedo, which lead to a general mottled appearance on the skin. This problem, indicative of poor blood circulation, was observed in older patients (6 percent of the cases studied) who had severe disease.
The researchers stated that viruses can cause rashes, but they are surprised that Kovid-19 causes such diverse problems.
“DO NOT USE TO DIAGNOSE”
Itching and redness of the skin are not currently among the symptoms of coronavirus. The researchers emphasized that there may be other causes of these skin problems and that larger studies are needed to establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship with the coronavirus. “Therefore, it is not a good way to diagnose,” one of the researchers, Garcia-Doval, said in his statement to the BBC, noting that the problems in question are generally seen after respiratory distress begins.
“The purpose of this research is not to help people diagnose themselves, but to understand how the infection affects the body,” said Ruth Murphy, President of the British Association of Dermatologists.
The American Academy of Dermatology, it was claimed, also collected data to determine why skin problems occur in some patients and their underlying causes.
