Covid rash warning - the three symptoms of coronavirus on your skin

Dry lips

Your lips may become sore if you develop coronavirus, it warned.

Some patients have reported unusually dry and scaly lips, although it usually develops toward the end of the infection.

The soreness may also develop inside the mouth, as a result of the dry lips.

Covid toes

The most specific type of skin rash for Covid patients develops on their fingers and toes.

The rash is often known as chilblains, and was relatively rare before the coronavirus pandemic.

It causes red/purple bumps on the fingers or toes, and they can be very sore.

The top layer of skin may end up peeling as a result of the rash, although it’s not usually itchy.
