Dermatological symptoms may be the latest new coronavirus symptom

The novel coronavirus may cause dermatological symptoms such as pseudo-frostbite, hives and persistent, sometimes painful redness, as symptoms that affect the body outside of the respiratory system continue to be found that may be associated with coronavirus infections, according to the French National Union of Dermatologists-Venereologists (SNDV).

The organization received numerous reports of cases with these symptoms in COVID-19 patients. These symptoms may appear without respiratory symptoms, according to a press release by SNDV. A WhatsApp group of over 400 dermatologists has been organized by SNDV to discuss cases with these symptoms.
