Covid Toes

As the novel coronavirus continues to spread around the world, additional suspected symptoms are coming to light. Recently, scientists have realized that patients are presenting with a red, sometimes itchy or painful area involving their toes without any incidence of injury. Some patients may also have a blister that resembles a frostbite injury. In most cases, the irritation goes away without leaving a scar. These complaints may be early signs of having the COVID-19 virus and patients are encouraged to consult with their podiatric physician right away for evaluation. Physicians at Weil Foot & Ankle Institute are treating patients with these symptoms and following these patients to verify if they later test positive for the virus. If you are experiencing any foot or ankle issues, our Weil Foot & Ankle Team is here to support you. Weil Foot & Ankle Institute offers same-day appointments in the office or via Telehealth.
