In almost half of the people with COVID-19, swelling and redness of the toes appeared. The swelling looks like frostbite and can last for several months. TSN writes about this, referring to The Telegraph.
According to a study by the International League of Dermatological Communities and the American Academy of Dermatology, so-called “cove-shaped fingers” appear during the first four weeks of infection.
“There appears to be a subset of patients who develop toes that become red and swollen after being infected with COVID, and then turn purple over time,” said Esther Freeman, a dermatologist at Harvard Medical School.

She reports that this symptom is mild and, in most cases, clears up within 15 days without medical intervention.
“But we saw patients who had it for a month or two,” the researcher said.
Due to the data recorded in the international COVID-19 dermatological registry, approximately half of the patients experienced inflammation of the toes and approximately 16% of them were hospitalized.
