COVID-19 May Cause A Skin Disease Dubbed As COVID TOES
CORONAVIRUS – As the pandemic continues, dermatologists have found a correlation between COVID-19 patients and a skin disease dubbed COVID Toes.

Meanwhile, Dr. Amy Paller, a Northwestern dermatologist said she encountered around 30 cases of the mystery skin condition. However, Paller emphasized that more testing was needed to determine the exact cause.
But, due to the coronavirus pandemic and other factors, the connection to COVID-19 could not be ignored, said Paller.
