Doctors found another strange coronavirus symptom no one can explain

[Chris Smith]

• Some of the people infected with the novel coronavirus who survive COVID-19 will then experience persistent symptoms for weeks or even months after the illness, in what’s known as “Long COVID.”
• Doctors are still trying to understand the lingering symptoms, with the Westchester Medical Center in New York running a treatment and study program for long haulers.
• Now, a new report explains another strange coronavirus symptom that can appear with Long COVID: Some people have experienced skin peeling off their hands and a strange purple discoloration in their fingers.

COVID-19 has three possible outcomes, and only one is ideal. Infection with the novel coronavirus isn’t fatal for most people, as doctors have learned how to treat the illness and save more lives. But surviving COVID-19 is only the first step of the healing process for so many people out there. The virus might be gone after a few weeks, but the symptoms can linger for months after beating the illness. An increasing number of patients have been reporting Long COVID symptoms that last far longer than anyone expected.

Some of the most common Long COVID symptoms mimic experiences from the illness, like shortness of breath and fatigue. Other symptoms are stranger and rarer, but people have complained of all sorts of unusual manifestations of COVID-19 after surviving the illness. Now, a new report detailing Westchester Medical Center’s treatment program targeting COVID-19 long-haulers reveals another unexpected symptom that can appear in Long COVID.
