Article Synopsis
- The most common skin condition linked to COVID-19 is pseudochilblains, commonly referred to as "COVID toes," which are hard to diagnose without a specific test.
- Two women, aged 30 and 22, were treated for these lesions during the pandemic; neither showed respiratory symptoms, but one had positive serology and both had distinct clinical difficulties post-cold exposure.
- Their cases highlight the variability of COVID-19 symptoms, suggesting that skin lesions may indicate an interferon response and should be considered in diagnoses during primary care visits.
